Harry is a terrific pet for any home. He is lively, loves having company, loves the outdoors (especially watching/stalking rabbits and squirrels!), is highly sensitive and intelligent, enjoys learning and has a big appetite for cheese, peanut butter, chimken, berries, oats and pretty much anything really. He has a beautiful black and white double coat (we like to say he has a tuxedo on!), a brushy tail and little white happy feet. Hari has gone through the Puppy Raising and Training for Life (currently has 6 months left) Programs at Wags and Wiggles. He is keen to engage, loves the dog park and enjoys playing with toys. Not a picky eater at all! Harry enjoys eating natural foods and does well with a wide range of carbs, meats, veggies and fruits. Harry has a very outgoing personality and loves to play and engage. He enjoys going to training classes and picks up new concepts easily. He enjoys playing with toys and is a frequent visitor of our local dog park. He enjoys running around, wrestling in the dirt and grabbing sticks out of bushes to entertain himself and is always on the lookout for a pocketful of treats to do a "sit" to. Harry enjoys waking up early and doing some homework while getting his breakfast in. Day time usually consists of more play, going on walks, visits to the dog park and squirrel watching in the patio. Harry would thrive in a home that is welcoming and loving. He thrives on being around company and spending time with other dogs and at the dog park. Harry also enjoys engagement and his trainers say he has a lot of potential for advanced training. Harry has completed the Puppy Raising and is enrolled for the Training for Life Programs at Wags and Wiggles and has approximately 6 months left on his 2 year training contract. He is also AKC certified on 3 levels of Tricks certifications. He knows the following commands -
Sit, Down, Stay, Head Down, Spin, Pop, Say your Prayers, Fetch, Come, Heel, Side, Loose Leash Walking. Harry's vaccinations are up to date. N/A.
