Temperament & Needs

Camp loves humans, dogs, love, attention, and structure. He is the whole package. We have already started the foundational work of balanced training with her using a prong as a communication tools, and he’ll be ready for remote collar training when he gets here. Camp does exhibit some signs of food reactivity when other dogs are near his food bowl. It’s extremely common for a dog that was on the street, and an adopter should plan to work with a trainer to help him overcome his reactivity. It is important NOT to coddle or reward the behavior, instead it is important to teach him it is not acceptable reaction.

Purely positive training is not a good fit for this pup. We’ve seen his confidence grow in balanced training, so we want him to continue to thrive. Any potential adopter, along with the trainer, should continue to to work on confidence and calmness, and get ready for off-leash fun.

Those with balanced training experience, and prong/remote collar experience are preferred!

We are firm believers that the more rules you have for your dog when they are young, the more freedom they earn as they get older. So set down expectations and boundaries for your dog now with a trainer, so they can be part of all the family fun!

Those who don’t believe in rules, routine, and structure for your dog, need not apply.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, we will only consider applicants where one adult has a more flexible schedule, as puppies are a lot of work, and will require potty breaks, exercise, training and continued human and dog socialization as they grow up.

Crate/Potty Training

All puppies and dogs rescued by FAVOR are crate trained, sleeping in the crate from 9pm-6am, and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Puppies also understand the basic concept of peeing outside, but there is ALWAYS a transition period where crate cries and potty accidents WILL HAPPEN in a new home, as the dog transitions to new rules and ways to communicate.

We always recommend keeping dogs crated during nap times, bed time, and when they are alone to protect them from danger such as chewing on cords, socks, and other objects. Foreign objects can get stuck in their stomachs which can result in a very expensive surgery. We also encourage using the crate like a bedroom for your dogs as they get older, where they can take naps, take a break from human interaction, and have a time out. More importantly, the crate provides them a safe place to go to when things get overwhelming, like a lot of people, loud noises, extreme weather. Think of the crate as their “den,” and a place for them to unwind. We all need a break sometimes!
