Description:

All right, keep stride with me, I got places to go and people to love. Let’s go, we’re walking, we’re talking…OK, I’ll start. My name is Walker and I am 8 years old. People have described me as uneasy, but a good boy. I need some stability in my life; I think that would help quell a lot of my stress, you know.

I would also be a lot more receptive to positive-reinforcement training. I have had some negative experiences in the past, but I don’t like to talk about it. Forward and ever up! I get along with other dogs, but if you got cats they better run when they see me coming! I make no apologies; I just can’t stand those critters. Dog-savvy kids 10+ will be best for me because I take a little time to trust and grabby hands are no match for me. As with my crate training, I have that down. House manners, too; got those covered. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty more I want to learn, so I got the time to dedicate to learning all you want to teach me if you are game! Sound like a pretty good deal? Then come on and walk with me!

71lbs. My adoption fee is $120 and includes neuter, microchip, reduced cost training class, free veterinary exam, 1 month pet health insurance, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.
