• Would benefit from another dog who is a good leader and teacher

Hi! I’m St. Nick, and yes, I’ve been here before. No hard feelings! Sometimes things just don’t work out, and honestly, the good people at Homeward Bound think it was probably a training problem more than a me problem. I never really got the guidance a one-year-old puppy needs to be his best self. So here I am, ready for a second chance and a real fresh start.

I’ll be honest with you: I am very much a puppy. I am a one year old boy, which means I am basically a furry toddler with opinions. I can get jumpy and mouthy when I’m excited and I have a thing or two to say about strangers. But when I’m with other dogs, I do great. Playgroup? Nailed it. The groomer? Zero drama. I just need someone to help me understand that not everything happening outside my line of sight is an emergency.

What I need is structure, patience, and someone willing to put in the work. And the good people here will even connect you with a trainer to help us both get started on the right foot. Anyone who’s ever committed to a young dog and watched them grow into something amazing knows exactly what I’m talking about.

Kids old enough to understand my energy and commit to my program would be fantastic. I don’t know much about cats yet. But I do know that somewhere out there is a person or a family ready to give me the foundation I never had, and I am going to be so worth it!
