About Skipper
Hi there, I'm Skipper — a bright young pup with a lot of heart and a big brain to match! I've already mastered some cool tricks like "sit," "down," "up" (yep, I can hop onto the couch or bed on cue!), "touch" for hand targeting, and "hold," which helps me calm down by grabbing onto a rope toy when I feel a bit overwhelmed. It’s just my way of coping — totally normal for a pup like me! I love learning, especially when there are tasty treats involved, and I thrive with patient, positive guidance.
I'm still getting used to the big, busy world, so I’m looking for a calm, experienced human who can help me build confidence at my own pace. I can be a little selective and enthusiastic around other dogs, so dog parks aren’t for me just yet, and I’d do best in a home with older kids (12+), where things aren’t too overwhelming. If you have a dog at your home already, I'll need to meet them prior to going home with you to ensure our energy levels match. I promise, with some ongoing training and your support, I’ll blossom into your loyal, loving best mate. If you think we could be a good match, come say hello — I’d love to meet you!
