I'm a very sweet and gentle boy. I love belly rubs and petting more than anything else. I know I'm not a lap dog, but still want to be as close to you as I can get. There are somethings that make me anxious. I'm not a fan of thunder or loud noises and prefer not to be left alone. I have been around other dogs before and am not a fan of them. I can act out when I see them on a walk and will pull on my leash. Because of my size and strength, my new owner will need to be strong enough to hold onto me. I will need an owner experienced in helping a dog who has that kind of anxiety feel more confident. The more gently I am trained in this area the quicker and more lasting such training will be. I should do well around children who are 11 years and older. I don't always know my size and really enjoy leaning against people when I'm being pet. Does your couch have the space for me?
