Cookie is about 1 year old, neutered, and most likely a cattle dog / Siberian husky cross. Look at that blue eye, and he does talk!
Cookie seems to not have had much experience on solid surface floors. He crouches until he feels his footing become more stable. Tile is better than hardwood to him and carpet is bomb!
And Cookie is completely house trained... he figured out the dog door quick by watching the other dogs. No accidents. No destruction. He passed the sock test! The only thing Cookie wants to chew on are his cowhooves in great supply here.
Cookie has been great with my other dogs. And he would do fine with another confident, nice dog or two. Compatibility with other animals is unknown.
Cookie did great hanging out with a couple of young boys and their mom for a nice walk to the park. He met other dogs nose to nose on leash, dealt with skateboards, strollers, people, nonplussed.We've been on a couple of pack hikes. He's raring to go and doesn't think it's fair he's on leash!
But they all pay their dues. Soon Cookie, maybe even next walk, he'll be able to go off leash. But by the end of each hike, surprisingly, he finds himself pleasantly worn out for the rest of the night!
Cookie is a high energy dog. But he won't drive you nuts as long as he is included. I think most of his energy is really when he things he's being left out. Have him in the room with you, or in the house, and he's quiet as a mouse and calm.
I trained Cookie to stay in the main dog room. No door. But I can't have 10 dogs running around the house. So on cold rainy days, they can stay in the laundry room on dog beds if they're good. He's very good!
Cookie can be mouthy and I'm working on that. It's the cattle dog term of endearment to hold your hand or wrist. But he is learning.
