Brandy #4100

My name is Brandy (#4100).  I am a 3 ½-year old male Labrador Retriever and I weight 88 lbs. I am a bundle of energy that loves people and activity.  I love walks, running around the yard and taking car rides.  I am fantastic on my leash.  I have little reaction to other dogs or people.  I have a great harness and gentle leader that helps with my pulling.

I have basic commands down and am taking refresher training classes to brush up on my manners.  I’m learning not to counter surf.  I can be a little sneaky with taking things that are not toys like the TV remote.  My trainer says I excel at “ nose work” and should enter competitions with my new family.  I love a good puzzle!  We are working on my reactions to loud noises and my separation anxiety.

I used spend a lot of my life in a crate and I no longer feel comfortable being locked inside.  For now, I will take little naps and eat my food in there.  Maybe down the road I will be okay if you shut the door but I prefer an open door approach while I adjust.

My foster family doesn’t have children but I tend to get a little rambunctious when I’m excited so I could knock someone over by accident.  I would be better around children over 12-years old.  My foster family has a cat and I am not a fan of small animals.  I haven’t been around other dogs off leash so my foster family doesn’t know how I would react in a multi-dog household.

I am a sweet, smart and loyal companion.  My ideal family will be understanding with me as I get used to a new home and will continue my training.  I will thrive with activity, routines and room to run.  Please include me in your adventures!
