A Big Goofball

Derek’s personality is coming out more and more. You can never guess what his mood will be according to his trainer. He is a very sweet and loving dog. He follows his trainer around the room with his beautiful eyes watching everywhere she goes.

Derek goes crazy when he spots the dog bowl. He has his own special dance when it comes time to eat. He loves to eat and is very treat motivated.

Once Derek learns his commands, he is eager to show you what all he can do. He is smart and knows all but one of his basic commands. “Heel” still needs a bit of work.

Derek plays very little. He tends to want to lounge around. When he is outside, he does his business and then is ready come back in. His trainer has to encourage him to walk. He is still not a fan of the kennel, but has settled down some.

His trainer thinks Derek is a big goofball. He likes to play with her but still doesn’t want to play with the other dogs. When Derek gets excited, he hops and skips across the dorm, wearing a big smile. It is very cute to watch.
