Kaiden is a 4yr old, male, Maltese/Shih Tzu who loves to be outside. He likes to go for leisurely walks so he can sniff and explore. He likes to have a yard for daily running and exercise with a fence to keep him safe at home. Kaiden is adorable but can be timid. He would do best in an adult home or a home with older children who can be part of his training. Kaiden is ready to learn his basic doggy manners like wait at the door and sit for attention.  Kaiden is not great with other dogs because he does not interact respectfully and he will not back down to another dog correcting him. Kaiden will need some time to learn to trust his new person. He will also need a firm, consistent person who can give him limitations. Kaiden will try to use his mouth to get you stop doing something he doesn’t want. He will also use his mouth if he is scared. He needs help getting more used to handling. If you have some time to spend with a trainer to help this little guy, come on by to meet him during our Animal Viewing Hours below.
