In the beginning, Nugget had had difficulty socializing with new humans and animal. He is very well crate trained and does not mess in his crate, and is working very well at potty training. Due to his past history with children, and his tendency towards hyperactivity, he would do best in a home with older children, and adults. So he would do best in a home without any cats, a fenced in yard, or if no fenced in yard, to have him securely leashed when walked. Nugget has a high prey drive, and will chase anything running fast. So he may be best in an only dog home, or at least separated/crated when left by himself as to not be overstimulated, and have time to himself to decompress. Nugget enjoys playing with other dogs he knows and is comfortable with, but does not like to share his toys. They have been working every night, refreshing on the basics he learned at his board and train like place, settle (lay down), come, and leave it.Īs well as slowly teaching him to sit, heal, and to be more tolerable towards the cats, and to be respectful towards his larger foster dog sister. He has learned to not be scared of the hair dryer, food processor, kitchen Aid mixer, and now and working on the vacuum. Nugget’s foster mom is working on desensitizing him with many different sounds every day. From living in a rural area, to learning all of the scary sounds in the city. Nugget has come a long way and is working hard along side his foster mom to learn all the world has to offer. He has been getting consistent, daily (and usually nightly during the work week) brief training sessions from his foster mom. Nugget has been hard at work after his two week long board and train. Please be sure to read all about him before applying since he is needing a specific type of forever home? His foster mom wrote the following bio in hopes that we can find Nugget a great new foster to adopt home. This little 10# Jack Russel terrier mix is super smart and he learns very quickly so we think he can continue to be taught new tricks and manners as he continues to grow into such a good boy. He has been responding very well to his training but it needs to continue once he is placed into a new foster to adopt home. It has been a long process including a 2 week stay and train program at click to zen to lay down a foundation for him of positive reinforcement training and basic manners. We weren't going to give up on him as his previous owners did when they took him to a shelter to be euthanized at just 10 months old when he was showing signs of a high play drive and becoming nippy to elicit attention the only way he knew how. Nugget is a chihuahua Jack Russell mix that came to us needing a little help with his training since he was acting out with some very negative attention seeking behaviors.
