Laid-Back Lad

This week, Ivan’s swap week trainer found himself in a lucky spot - spending a week with Ivan! This is when the trainers have the dogs with different training teams to see how well they’ll do commands for strangers, along with testing for separation anxiety. With Ivan’s intelligence, eager to please attitude, and his gentle, easy-going temperament, he had NO problems with either one!

Ivan and his swap week trainer had several great play time sessions, although he only seems to be interested in the rope toys. But for about five minutes, this four year old had the energy and excitement of a four month-old puppy! His swap week trainer can confidently say that if he were able to, he would adopt Ivan himself. And if Ivan’s forever family is looking for an easy-going, laid-back, gentle dog, but who also has his moments of energy and playfulness, they’ll be thrilled to welcome him home soon!
