I must apologize for being out of touch on the progress of the fabulous Caspian! So sorry to have neglected updating all of his fans. Life and work have been really hectic.
Caspian has made so much progress over the past few weeks. He is so well behaved and such a sweet boy! He loves people, kids, dogs and life in general. He is however not deemed cat safe. This is important for you to know if you are thinking about adding him to your life. Like so many terrier breeds his desire to go small quick moving kitties overcomes his generally good manners. He has demonstrated great play skills and manners with our resident chihuahua/jrt mix Linty, my JRT Opie, pugs, KCC's, and other terriers in our daycare group. He is kind and respectful of the many senior dogs in our office, including the greyhounds who rule the canine kingdom in the admin. offices!
He is able to do all basic obedience including sit, down, stay, wait, come, walk on a loose leash, go to his bed, leave it and object or food exchange. He has learned how to shake and give you five, spin and is just about to have take a bow! He has been in classes for reactive dogs as the mentor dog (meaning he is the quiet and well behaved one for the other dogs to observe)
He know what the request to be quiet is, and he is able to spend time in his crate without whining or barking. Initially he may whine for a few minutes, but he settles in pretty fast.
Everyone at Great Dog loves him and he is an ambassador for the pitbull breed!
He has accompanied me on dog bite prevention and humane education programs in elementary schools with wonderful interactions with children ages 9-11 years of age.
This dog is really a joy to know and work with-please consider giving this boy a forever home!
