My name is Dove!

Dove is a 2-year old border collie

He loves meeting people, especially loves kids, and is dog-friendly. I’d recommend a slow introduction with cats- mine are barn cats and he didn’t have access to them off-leash but seemed interested in chasing if he could.

Dove is house/crate trained. He’s a super smart guy. He’s learning obedience quickly: we’re working on touch, sit, and down. He will need to keep busy- he does like to steal/chew my kids toys if he gets a chance. He does great on the leash and will make a great walking/running buddy.

Things to work on: He is timid in new situations and may need some coaxing at first. He is scared of getting into the car but does well once he is in the car. He has some separation anxiety and will whine and scratch at doors, but does well in the kennel with a sheet partially over it. Will need a slow/careful introduction around food in future home if they have other dogs because Dove has shown some food aggression.
