DJ’s foster mom, Donna, told us that he’s a very happy and lively guy. He’s smart and a quick learner. DJ has been doing well with basic commands and doesn’t bark at the fence as much as he did last month. He’s also very friendly to other dogs that he meets at the dog park and loves going there.
DJ is vocal, like many shibas, and carries on a conversation with her and her husband if they keep talking to him or asking him questions. She said it’s very cute. The only thing they are trying to work on now is his excitement barking when they come home. He doesn’t always stop when they’ve entered the house and he sometimes cries in the morning when they leave for work.
He has certainly improved and doesn’t show any aggression and we’ve had no reports of him guarding items or treats that are high-value to him. He is a playful dog and loves to play fetch and learn new tricks. They’ve taught him to crawl, shake hands, and spin.
