Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
We aren’t really sure how he will do with other dogs. We have another dog and they coexist just fine. Dogs at the groomer don’t seem to bother him. But we don’t allow him to meet other dogs when out on leash because he barks and lunges at them. He can be unpredictable/can overreact every now and then. Does great at groomers and vet with people. Dogs don’t bother him at groomers but they do bother him when out on leash.
