Zeus

Description

Hi, I’m Zeus! I’m a two-year-old male Rottweiler • Playful, active, and ready to learn I’m a friendly young Rottweiler with a nub tail and plenty of puppy-like enthusiasm! I’m more interested in playtime than guarding the house, and I’m looking for a home that will give me exercise, patient guidance, and consistent training. My favorite things include my two Jolly balls, chewing on bones, and getting outside for some fun. Soft toys with squeakers are not suitable for me. I currently enjoy a one mile walk each day plus exercise in the backyard. My leash manners have improved, and I now walk well with much less pulling. I already have some great everyday skills: I’m house-trained, use a doggie door, and am comfortable in a standard wire crate with no reported crate anxiety. Outside my crate, I rest on a dog bed. I know sit and down and am working on stay and reinforcing my lying-down cue, which is pretty good because I haven’t attended an official training class yet. I am friendly and loving with women, but boy do I like men! My foster Dad is the best although Mom usually does all the work. I am a healthy, young boy with no medical problems. I love my food and have no resource guarding or aggression when Mom takes it away from me. I eat well, usually graze at breakfast and finish dinner in one sitting. I live with an older Beagle and have a good relationship with my canine companion, although my enthusiasm can be a bit much sometimes. I have not encountered other dogs on walks and need more supported socialization to learn appropriate dog-to-dog interactions. I have not lived with cats, so a home without them is best for me. I’ve interacted with younger children with no problems, but I am still learning manners. A home with older children rather than toddlers would be a better fit for me. I need a committed Mom or Dad (or both) who will take me to fun training classes, continue my socialization, and help me build calm, polite play habits. If you enjoy an active dog and are ready to invest in my learning, I could be your next playful companion!
