Olaf is an 8 pound fluffball who was rescued from a shelter in Texas. He is the happiest little guy you will ever meet, always up for a game of fetch with a squeaky toy or a walk with lots of sniff time. Olaf gets along great with cats and other dogs, but he can be intimidated when other dogs play rough so he often plays by himself off to the side.
Olaf spent most of his life without any structure so it was a bit of a shock to him when he was expected to walk nicely on a leash, relax quietly in his crate, and follow commands. When I first got him he would react to these indignities with loud squawks and sometimes snarling and snapping. Olaf went to doggy school for a few weeks to learn how to follow his human’s lead, and he absolutely loved it. He is the most eager little dog and now that he has been shown clearly what he’s supposed to do and rewarded for doing it, he is so proud of his new skills. He is still working on some fear when his collar is touched and manipulated, like when putting a leash on him, and will sometimes yell and try to bite. We work on this every day with touching his collar and then giving him a treat when he doesn’t react. His reactions are now few and far between, but they aren’t completely gone and may never be. Because of this, Olaf should not live with kids and will need an owner willing to keep up his training.
Olaf is an expect snuggler and thrives on lots of walks, games, and training sessions. He loves jumping onto and off objects and going up the agility ramp at doggy school, so he’d probably love agility classes! Olaf is non shedding and will need regular haircuts. He does great with being groomed and having his nails trimmed.
Olaf is SO excited to meet you and find his forever home!
