About Mickey Mantle | |
|
|
Narrative - Mickey is mostly black and on the smaller side of size. He has mostly white front paws. He has white tips on his back feet. He ahas a large white patch on his chest. His a chubby, round bellied puppy. His gait is a waddle. His is growing into his legs and feet and so he is falls over his feet or tumbles head over heels when he is running. He is adorable to watch as he attempts to master some physical activies, like getting up and down the back step.
Energy Level - Mickey has a lower than normal energy level. He is playful at times but he is content to spend time laying around and then napping. He is not first to anything.
Food - Mickey will come into the kitchen and sit while I prepare his food. He does not beg and is not underfoot while I am preparing his food. He knows where his bowl goes and goes there when I pick up his bowl. He is a slow eater and if other dogs finishes before him he will let them eat his food. He does not beg for human food. He was very thin when we brought him home and is on the small side but he has gained over 3 pounds in a week.
Adaptability - He is shy and will approach with caution. He adjusted to the structured routine within 4-5 days. He is sometimes underfoot and you will need to watch for him to avoid stepping on him.
Behaviors - Mickey is very affection and loves attention. He is happiest laying on your lap. When someone comes in the door, he is cautious will will approach after some encouragement. He will come when you call him but is is a little slower. He is like other normal puppies of this age, he likes to chew on things, sometimes your fingers. We have Puppy-proofed the house however, if he does get an item he should not be chewing on, he is easiely distracted with an appropriate dog chew toy. He eager to be petted and snuggled.
Human Social Skills - Mickey has been socialized with adults, children, senior citizens, both men and women. He will approach with caution but is happy to sit on your lap. He is a bit squirmy being picked up so you must hold him firmly or else he will wiggle out of your arms.
Animal Social Skills - Mickey has been socialized with 3 large dogs and 1 small dog and 1 cat. He will play with them all and seems to enjoy them. He will join the other dogs if they bark, otherwise he does not bark alot. He is equally focused on the dogs as he is on the humans.
Obedience - Mickey is learning obedience. He will come when you call his name. He has had success with potty training but it is not complete as he is still very young. He is not always eager to go outside and sometime you have to pick him up and take him outside.
Training - Mickey has learned "ouside" and "Let's go inside" while clapping, quickly mastered the house schedule, including the time to get up, time to go to bed, meal time and trips outside. Mickey sleeps in her crate at night and sleeps through the night.
Personality - He is a very sweet dog and I believe that he will be easy to train further and will completely master potty training with some physical and emotionally growth. He is a very cautious puppy.
