More about Michael

Michael is a fun one-and-a-half-year-old Lurcher with a big personality and an even bigger appetite. Full of enthusiasm, he thrives on attention and is always ready to make new friends. Whether he's heading out on a walk or showing off a trick in exchange for a tasty treat, Michael brings plenty of energy wherever he goes.

Michael is a sociable dog who enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. He can become excited when he sees another dog and may bounce around in anticipation. With a little guidance he settles quickly and is able be polite. He is learning that not every walk needs to include saying hello. Continuing this training will help him remain relaxed and confident when out and about.

His excitement isn't limited to other dogs, and Michael can also get bouncy when greeting people. He will benefit from a family who can encourage calm greetings and continue rewarding polite behaviour. Due to his size and enthusiasm, he is best suited to a home with teenagers who are comfortable around larger, lively dogs.

Michael enjoys exploring and is a confident walker who takes the world in his stride. He loves long walks with plenty of opportunities to sniff and he would happily join a family who enjoy getting outdoors and discovering new places together. He has shown an interest in chasing birds, so his adopters will need to be mindful in areas with lots of wildlife and choose quieter walking locations while continuing his training.

Michael is not yet housetrained and will need a private garden to develop this training without becoming overexcited by passing dogs. He will need guidance as he settles into his new routine, along with management around food, as he has the potential to investigate kitchen worktops if tasty treats have been left within reach.

Michael is an entertaining and intelligent young dog who has so much to offer. He is looking for a family who can provide ongoing training and consistent boundaries.
