Jake is a beautiful blue, 5 month old, standard poodle, 👀 for the perfect family 🏠. He does well with other dogs and people but sometimes lacks a bit of confidence with new people, dogs, and places. He does recover quickly and is wonderful once he is sure about his surroundings. I bring him with me to work several times a week. On the first visit, when we walked through the store's automatic doors, I had to carry him through. We went out for a potty break a few hours later, and he was unsure about walking out, but when we were walking back in, he walked in with confidence. He has medium high energy, and definitely gets hyper and silly when he gets the zoomies. He loves to watch TV, and can entertain himself with toys.
He is mostly housebroken, but sometimes has an excited or nervous piddle. He is crate trained and will enter the kennel on hos own when led in with a treat, he has been sleeping the whole night through. He is mostly quiet and really only barks when I first come home and he is super excited, if he has to potty, or if he knows it's feeding time.
He has done well in the car with short trips with me to work, but I have not taken him on a trip longer than 15 minutes. He has not gotten the hang of getting into the car (SUV), so I lift him for that, and i assist him getting out because he is still a growing puppy and want to take care with his developing joints. He is used to going up and down steps from the house to the potty yard. He walks on a leash but prefers to bounce around, so we are working on keeping his feet on the ground. He is biddable and highly food motivated, but easily distracted. He will definitely benefit from consistency in training.
