Wallace is a laid back, low-maintenance kind of guy that’s just looking for some affection. He is very content to just sit next to you and chill but I recommend you get him playing a little because his clumsy wiggles and funny facial expressions will keep you laughing. He is a perfect energy level for those looking for a companion who can hang out and be mellow but then will still get spunky to play or go for a walk
• House Trained: Goes to the bathroom quickly when you bring him out. Can be left alone in a room for extended periods and he is quiet and well-behaved… especially if he has a comfy bed!
• Kid Friendly: Went on staycation with a family that has a 10 year old and they said he was great. They also said there were several other children between the ages of 6-10 that came over and even though they were loud and excited he still did well interacting with them
• Knows some commands: Sit, stay (short periods) and comes when you call his name. If you have some treats, he will also lay down for you
• Well-mannered: Does not jump, gentle taking treats, does not bother me when I’m working all day at my desk, sits when you bring him his food, easy to bathe with hose
• Likes to play with toy! Plays fetch
• Generally easy to walk on leash: He mostly walks by your side with a loose leash and often checks in looking up at you. The only time he pulls is when he gets excited when he sees another dog. He is strong but I use a front clip harness and with that I can control and direct him if he starts pulling
• Very easy to get in the car and is calm and content. He will just sit and look out the window or sometimes will stick his head (and 1 paw) out the window but he doesn’t move around much and is very well behaved
• Probably best in a single-dog home unless it’s an experienced dog owner who will work through a very slow intro into the new home. Wallace is very loud when he sees new dogs. We walk him with our 2 resident dogs and have done walks with two other foster dogs that we had. It takes a couple walks until he stops reacting to them and then he does well.. We find treats are useful in redirecting his attention when he first sees new dogs
• Not cat friendly
