Is your dog house trained?
Yes

Is your dog crate trained?
In Progress

Additional to add for crate training
Tito is comfortable using his crate on his own and will often choose to rest there if the door is left open. When crated while someone is home, he may bark briefly before settling. Tito experiences separation anxiety when left alone in his crate and may need extra support while adjusting to a new home. A consistent routine and, if needed, short-term medication can help during the transition. He has successfully been weaned off medication and is currently able to settle in his crate on his own with an established routine.

Does your dog have any special needs?
Tito has separation anxiety when crated and may need extra support while adjusting to a new home. A consistent routine and, if needed, short-term medication can help him settle. As at right now, Tito has weaned off medication and would settle on his own in the crates.

Tito thrives with clear boundaries and consistent expectations. If undesirable behaviours are reinforced or he feels treated unfairly around valued items (around people or other dogs), he may become nippy. With fair, consistent handling and reward system, he does well. Currently in care, his handlers has not observed any nipping behaviours.

He enjoys walks, playtime, and spending time with his people, while also appreciating quiet time to relax. Tito will thrive in a calm, structured home with consistent routines, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement.
