Nick Wilde

Basics: I do not have any other pets in the house so I don't know how Nick is with animals/Kids He is not leash trained, he definitely needs more time with that. However, I don't have a yard so it is difficult to work that into a routine. He knows how to sit and he is actively learning how to play fetch. He is having trouble letting go of the ball when he brings it back. I have learned that this dog loves ice, so I freeze celery, towels, and his toys. It is something that he can chew on for a while and it cools down his mouth because I think he is a teething puppy. He absolutely LOVES when you give him ice cubes. He is crate trained and he is very comfortable in his crate. I let him go in there a couple times a day to get some nap time/ rest time and he might bark for about 2 minutes then self soothe and stay in there without any problems, most times he is tired enough that he will stay quiet 100% of the time. He has not messed in his crate and he has always gone on the puppy pads! I will confidently say this dog is potty trained. Characteristics: 1. He is not very cuddly, he is just very excited to start playing so you maybe have 30 seconds for a hug before he wants to jump out of your arms and get on the floor running. 2. He is very playful and his favorite toys are probably the rope/cooling toys. He loves things that he can chew on. 3. Nick is very active and he needs playtime every couple of hours. He is a very curious dog so you can give him any toy and he will likely keep himself busy with it. 4. Playful, energetic, curious 5. He tilts his head at any sound or movement that you make. He is always trying to make sense of a situation. He is very trainable because of this, you just have to put in some effort! He loves to be around you when he is playing with his toys and he loves to play tug-a-war. 6. He is very good at being in his crate and he sleeps through the night very well. He also is food oriented so when you have treats it is very easy to teach him commands. He also can self soothe very well if he is unhappy in his crate. 7. I love how excited he is about everything. He does very well in his crate and he loves to take long naps because he is comfortable in there. He is very wobbly so I think that is very cute! 8. He is just a cute dog all around! He has a cute fur coat and his ears are the cutest things. 9. An ideal home for this dog would be one with a big yard. I can tell that he loves to run around and he is very curious when he is outside. I believe his foster parents said that he was good with other dogs and I do believe this dog is very social and outgoing. He does need some attention so if you could play with him twice a day that would be very good for him! 10. He is a very good learner. Medical/Behavior Issue 1. None that I am aware of 2. He is in his nipping/biting phase so he needs some chew toys. 3. N/A
