pepper

Pepper is in need of a new home because he does not appreciate the children in the child care giver`s home. His owner has provided lots of info about him and says:Pepper is a very playful and loving dog but she cannot trust him around children or other dogs.Pepper is a Corgi Poodle Mix with maybe some terrier mixed in too, and weighs around 17 pounds.He is very smart and knows a lot of commands---sit, stay, shake, down, wait, leave it, high five, No, come. Pepper caught on to leash walking very quickly. He is an excellent walker and loves his walks. He has started to get reactive when he sees other dogs so hopefully working with him on this quickly can resolve the issue, offering reassurance and `no` usually pulls him out of it. We walk at least 2 miles in the morning and sometime another 30 minute walk in the evening after dinner. We play a bit with toys or play fetch with his ball or frisbee.He was super easy to house break and super easy to crate train. He loves his crate, often crating himself. He does great at the vets.He never gets into the garbage and doesn`t eat laundry. He does well in the car. He loves people and will bark when people come over but settles quickly when he sees who it is. He loves to jump up on people to say Hi, and we have been working on that. He snuggles in and stays quietly in his crate during the entire night until we get him out around 7:30-8.He eats his breakfast and then we go for a couple mile walk. He will usually relieve himself while we walk.He is a pretty easy dog. He has one disgusting habit---he will eat his poop quickly if given the chance so you need to pick it up before he has a chance to turn around.He has some resource guarding/possession issues, and has been going to training for this issue, although they have not seen this reaction from him because he mostly reacts this way with children or if someone gets in his space suddenly. When he is with little children, I put a soft muzzle on him and he is usually quite relaxed with it on. To counter the protective guarding issue, we do not allow him on furniture. He does not do well with other dogs, maybe because he likes all the attention for himself or because he is afraid of them, he can be a bit of a chicken.He goes to a groomer about every 2-3 months and gets some grooming at home in between. He is very patient with the grooming.He gets fed twice per day, morning and evening.Basically he is an energetic, happy little guy with no health issues and adopts well to new situations.Being a a child care giver`s home just is not the right place for him. Hopefully he sounds like a good match for you.Birthday~~11/14/20_____Standard and Special Breed adoption fees includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please click on the links for adoption application and more information:paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formpaawarren.orgwww.avocato.org***PAAW’s Avocato Catfe’ is open in Farmington Hills!
