They also report that he`s housebroken, not destructive, and has no interestin escaping. In other words, he`s the kind of dog who`s happiest just beingpart of the family. Koda knows sit, stay, and come... just remember to keep your fingers clearwhen handing out treats-his enthusiasm occasionally gets ahead of hismanners! Fortunately, he`s highly motivated by snacks and loves foraging fortreats, making enrichment games one of his favorite activities. One of Koda`s most entertaining hobbies is following his incredible nose. Ifhe catches an interesting scent, he`ll happily sniff every inch of the yardand may even do a little digging and clawing at the dirt to investigate. Youcould say he`s convinced every backyard holds hidden treasure. Now all this distinguished gentleman wants is a soft couch to land on, afamily to love, and plenty of opportunities to go for leisurely sniffariwalks. If you`re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who`s tradedpuppy chaos for loyal companionship, Koda is ready to ride shotgun on yournext adventure, supervise your yard inspections, and fill your home withquiet devotion.
