Max has since been through a board and train program with Applejack K9 and attends weekly group classes in which he does very well. He excels in training and continues to learn new things each week. He will continue to go to lessons at Applejack K9 until he graduates. His obedience training the rescue paid for will be extended to whoever adopts him, which is an excellent perk of adopting Max. Max is obedience trained and knows sit, stay, down, come, heel, drop and crate. He has built up his confidence and is looking for a leader to show him that they are in control of the situation. He responds well to a strong handler and wants to please his person. He wants to be wherever his foster is and follows her like a shadow. He loves belly rubs, marrow bones, squeaky toys and cheese. His favorite past time is playing fetch and he will retrieve the ball and drop it right in front of your feet....so long as you have another ball ready to go for him to chase. He is a patient dog and doesn't mind just hanging out but absolutely loves to go on car rides. Max enjoys the comfort of his crate and will go in there on his own to sleep or just hang out. He would do best in a household without a lot of excitement since he feels the need to keep tabs on everyone all the time. Max tends to be protective which is a good quality, however, he needs to know when it is appropriate and when it is not which he is learning in his foster home. He continues to make his foster mom laugh daily at his antics and is a very affectionate and loyal dog who longs for a person or people to call his own. Ask to meet Max!
