Jinx

Jinx is looking for a home, he is a 6 year old neutered Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He is good with dogs but no cats. He is good with older children as well, he also is a very sweet boy but is a little anxious(especially in the car), he would love a patient family that gives him time to settle in and feel comfortable. Jinx shows no signs of aggression when being anxious outside, indoors he is fine but once outside he gets a little more cautious. He doesn’t have any resource guarding behavior with his food or toys from his owners. He is crate trained and has excellent leash and public manners. He will do excellent with a family that goes on hikes or long walks and or a family who is laid back and chill. He loves the water and likes going for runs. Any active beach lovers or active people this your dog right here! He can adapt fairly quickly to any lifestyle. His previous owner did not have the time for him so she surrendered him to my train and rehome program. I took him in for training and he is now ready for a forever home.

Things he knows
- Wait
- Go to bed(his crate)
- Sit
- Down
- Recall( comes when called)
- Handshake
- Neutral in public
- Ecollar trained
