Cliff

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Cliff — a sweet and silly guy who’s a real treat hound! When I arrived, I spent a lot of time exploring and running around the yard, especially between the front gate and where the other dogs were quarantining. I can be pretty keyed up, but I’m smart and eager to learn. I did some counter surfing at first when treats were left out, but with some reminders, I got better. I love toys — especially playing ball, and I’ll happily chase it as long as you keep tossing!

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I’ve met many dogs and generally do well. I’m pretty skilled at reading other dogs and making friends with them — I was even the star of the play yard! I do need a bit more time to prove myself in playgroups, though; once I settled in, I showed my sweet side and enjoyed pets and company.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Unknown – FOHA can cat-test me upon request.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I’ve met kids over 10 and done well, so an older, respectful kid would be best for me.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
I’m still learning! I’m strong on leash walks and need some work calming down, but I’m eager to please.

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I have crate experience and am crate trained.

THINGS I LIKE:
Playing ball, treats, exploring, and getting pets.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Being jumped on unexpectedly — I did snap once when another dog jumped on my back, so I need gentle introductions with new dogs.
