Finn

Finn is a sweet boy, but has special needs with occasional seizures. They are infrequent so the vet has not suggested daily medication, but that does not give me the option to keep him in daycare while I’m away at work. I believe if someone had more time than myself to continue his training (he went to a 5 week board +train) + more daily exercises walks, hikes, etc. he would live a better life. He will always want to cuddle with you and is very smart so with the right person could be a very successfully trained boy.

He can be nervous with strangers, but sweet if they take a slow approach with him… after he warms up they will be best friends. He’s not a fan of kids, they make him nervous- he is able to be in his “place” around them but still not an ideal scenario for him. He is reactive on the leash but is trained with a prong and e-collar to correct in the moment.
