This Little Cutie Is A Small 14lb Micro Doodle Pushing 2 Years. His Name Is Hunter. He Is Currently Looking For A New Home. He Will Go Through Our Charity Foundation www.surfgidgetfoundation.org 🐶
He Has Had A Training Session & Also Is Currently Attending Our Daycare Program. The Owner Is Giving Him Up So All Paperwork Will Be Available Vax Records & Pedigree Papers. After Assessing Him He’s A Playful Good Boy. He Needs Direction, Structure & Boundaries To Show Who’s The Alfa. Sadly, The Owner gave no Training or Socialization Without Her Around. This Is Very Important In A Dogs Life Especially With Dogs That Have No Confidence, Insecure & No Proper Socialization Skills. Hunter is very playful & plays well with other dogs at our business, A Very Big Plus 🤙 We Can Go Into More Details About Hunter. Feel Free To Drop A Comment Below. Will Have Hunter On Our Website Tomorrow. You May Fill Out An Adoption Form If You Are Interested.

Socializing Without The Human Makes A World Of Difference. Confidence, Less Insecure, Separation Anxiety, Reading Dogs, Reading New Humans, Structure, Respect & So Much More! Ace Came Last Year During The Winter in 2024 For 2 Visits. Then We Saw Him No More Due To The Grandparents Keeping Him Home. He Was Unsocial & Aggressive. He Was Never Socialized & Stayed Home On His Own Daily For A Few Years Of His Life. He’s Back Today To Attend Regularly 2x A Week As They See Ace Has Problems. He Remembers Us & The Structure. Now, It’s Getting Back Into A Routine & Learning To Be Confident, Friendly & Not Snappy. It Takes Work With Pups That Haven’t Had This Opportunity. When A Dog Isn’t Socialized Correctly The Dog Is Stripped Of Everything But Guarding Their House & Claiming Their Owners. We See This Daily & 90% Of What Comes Into Our Door Is Ace 🤙If You Experience These Problems Think About Whats Best For Your Dog & Let Go Of The Paw On Occasion, Makes a World Of Difference.

Socializing Dogs In A Socialized Atmosphere Is So Important Especially Without The Owners Around It's Crucial To A Dog's Life. Learn To Let Go Of The Paw Just Like A Parent Lets Go Of A Child's Hand When The Child Goes To School. Your Dog Does Not Become Confident Most Times When Playing With You Around & With A Neighbor's Dog. You Are The Security Blanket Unless You Have An Awesome, Well Rounded, Submissive, Trained & Confident Dog. This Is Usually A Rare Find But We Do See Some. We Have Experienced Insecure Dogs With No Confidence Continuously From Both Of Our Businesses On The East & West Coast. Ideally Dogs Need To Start At 4 Months With Socialization & Training. If training Is Not Affordable, Try A Structured, Controlled Daycare With Observation Where The Dog Can Have Both Mental & Physical Stimulation. Most Places Are Big, Loud Environments With Sq**rt Bottles Being Used & No Verbal, Hands On Structure Etc. We Have This Discussion Nearly Everyday With Customers Old & New. We Have Many Boarders Who Are Newcomers & Many Want To Leave Their Dog. We Find The Vast Majority Are Not Social With No Confidence. Makes Our Job Harder & It's Not Fair To The Dog. Our Training Is Like Having Kids, We All Had A Timeout Room When We Acted out With Our Parents, Same Applies For Dogs. It Works, We Have Provided This Method For Years & It Should Apply At A Owners Home With Boundaries, Structure, Direction & Simple Basic Commands On Leash & Off At Home. Building Your Dog's Confidence Is A Game Changer & The Dog Respects You More With Rules, Commands, Socializing & Simply Being Firm. You Can Love Your Dog But Your Pup Has To Earn At Times & Learn That Dominance & Claiming A Owner & The Home Cannot Apply If They Have Aggressive Tendencies. 90% Of What Comes Into Our Door Are Dogs That Are Overprotective, Submissive With The Tail Between The Legs & Runs To A Corner, Nervous P*e, Horrible Jumping, Barking or Horrible Walking Habit's On Leash. The Older The Dog Gets The Harder It Is To Break We Have Done It Time After Time. Owners Don't Want To Take The Time & Most Have One Dog. We Have Owned Numerous Dogs Through The Years, Managed Everyone Else's In The Business Including Having A Competition Dog For The Last 10 Years. If You Want Your Dog To Be Happy, Loving & Attentive, It only Happens When You Give The Proper Care & Attention To The Dog. Love Goes A Long Way Once Your Dog Learns The Rules & Respects You, Your Family, Friends & Other Dogs. Signs To Look For When DistractionIs At Play With Your Dog. Distraction Is: Noise, Trash Trucks, People, Dogs, Skateboards, Bikes, Small Children With High Voices, Mailmen etc. etc.Confidence or No ConfidenceBeing Secure In A dogs Own BodyOver Protective Behavior On Leash & OffSnaps, Bites, Growls, Chews The LeashSeparation AnxietyNervous P*eExtreme Marking - Boys EspeciallyHeckles Come Up On the BackEyes, Ears & Tail Are In Defense Mode Hu***ng - Over Dominating Male & Female Dogs Hides In A Corner, Under A Chair etc.Tail Between The Legs
