Sailor wants to be involved with whatever you're doing and he'll do it with the upmost enthusiasm! He has been socially appropriate to strangers and children.

​

Sailor is fully outdoor kennel-trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, has a solid recall "here", "sit" and "leave it" and "down" . He will sit and wait nicely to be released out of doorways and to eat his meals. He has made a lot of progress on leash manners, and walks best and takes corrections well on a prong collar. Sailor is still working on "heel" and a longer "wait". He is generally non-destructive. He is also pretty quiet, that is until the UPS man comes.

 

Sailor bonds closely to his person, but because of his adolescence, will occasionally try to push his boundaries. Once a good relationship is established he is loving, loyal and biddable. He has been "working" for his meals at least once a day and is doing great with positive reinforcement/shaping behaviors. He is eager to please and truly wants to be a good guy! He is also making huge progress on ignoring other dogs, poultry and livestock. He has been socially appropriate to strangers and children.

​

The ideal home for Sailor would be a strong handler that embraces his fun and spastic personality, but will also set firm boundaries and rules as to not allow him to "run the show". He does have a HUGE prey drive and will plow through blackberries to catch a whiff of a rat or rabbit. Barn-hunt could be fun, could also be dangerous. A home with cats and other small animals is definitely not recommended.
