Rexburgh is a happy playful boy who is extremely dog, cat and people friendly. He is a sneaky cuddle monster who will have your heart in no time.
Rexburgh loves de-fluffing his soft squeaky toys, chewing on his Nyla chew bone, watching the world go by on car rides and napping next to his foster mum’s feet while she works from home. He absolutely enjoys snoozing on his foster mum’s lap while Netflix-ing and wakes up ever so often to keep up with the storyline.
He is a happy camper and an easy-going boy who is just so full of love.
If you enjoy the company of a cheeky stickybeak who follows you around the house or garden trying to be helpful, Rexburgh is your guy! He is a quick learner, good with routine, playful, energetic (with an ability to switch off as required), not aggressive and receptive to commands and your vibe. It is a huge positive that he hardly ever barks unless of course he is excited about going for a walk or he is happy to have his foster mum back home. However, he stops barking after a firm “stop it or sit down” because he is such a good boy.
He lives extremely well with his foster fur-sisters and doesn’t mind sharing his toys and his bed. His training to be home alone with his foster fur-sisters is ongoing and he has successfully stayed home for several hours without any issues.
He has shown no signs of food aggression or resource guarding and trusts his people. However, some supervision at dinner time will be helpful if you are feeding multiple dogs at the same time.
Rexburgh would love to go to a home with a similar sized dog as being quite a young dog, he enjoys a good run around and playing with his doggie mates. As his energy levels are moderate, he would be happy with a medium sized backyard with regular visits to off lead dog parks ( after sufficient training), beach walks, hiking trails and all other adventures you could possibly think of.
He will benefit from continued lead training with someone who handles him with strength and confidence as he is very intuitive. Being a quick learner, he is already learning commands like sit, stop, no, walk, go slow, come here etc and to wait for his food and treats, when to go to his bed and how to follow a routine.
Rexburgh sleeps through the night and is responding well to toilet training. Continued toilet training and maybe training to use the doggy door will really help him to have a good mix of indoor and outdoor time. He is best suited for a home where he is included in activities, adventures, and everyday life as much as possible.
Teenagers or upper primary dog-savvy kids will be good for Rexburgh. Not tested with young children although he should be fine with them after sufficient training and supervision.
