Lakota is 1 year old and has had professional training by a K9 trainer. Perfect dog for a fenced in yard or a big farm but he also used a halo invisible fence system in our yard, he does sleep and stay inside majority of time with us. He is a sweet boy but a protector and let me say it, he is trained and knows commands.
He is trained with a E-Collar device and he uses a Halo security fence system in our yard.
He needs a loving, ‘Alpha personality…’ owner whether male or female.
He loves to play tug of war and needs room to play. He loves kids and it’s in his nature to protect his family. Lakota has been around other dogs and did well when he was boarded and trained by his professional trainer for 2 months.
He’s fully crate trained and house trained. Please Reach out for any questions! The only reason we are rehoming is due to big changes in our lives right now and schedules
