Clyde (A547059)

Clyde was excited to head outside and knew that me coming toward him with a leash meant he’d get a chance to leave his kennel! He used the bathroom shortly after going outside and might have been previously housetrained. Clyde enjoyed catching up on the sniffs in the tall grasses and checking out the smells from where other dogs had visited. He also was happy to take treats (very gently!) from me and curl up in my lap when I sat down. He put his paws on my shoulders while I was sitting and gave me a “hug” and then rolled on his back in the grass next to me and asked for belly rubs. Clyde pulls on the leash as you walk him, but less so the longer that you are out. I think that with regular walks and a more routine bathroom schedule, he’ll easily learn a loose leash walk with his new family. Clyde met some visitors who were looking for their next dog and he happily accepted pets from them and wasn’t at all shy. He politely took a treat from them. Clyde wasn’t jumpy or mouthy and his manner of taking treats gently makes me think that he could do well in a household with dog savvy children and appropriate parental supervision of interactions with kids.
