My Story
This handsome guy is easy to leash, walks beautifully down the hallway, and checks in with his person like a pro. He appears house trained (a true gentleman â he waits until heâs outside), and heâs calm passing other dogs. On leash, heâs loose, wiggly, and happy to stroll by your side.In a quiet space, Peso really starts to shine. Once heâs had a minute to explore, he becomes affectionate and even a little playful. Heâll politely ask for attention, lean in for more pets when you stop, offer default sits, nose âtouch,â and will even give you a little paw shake. He takes treats gently and is highly food motivated â especially if cheese is involved. (Cheese is a love language.)Peso prefers consent and clear communication. He may feel uncomfortable with close, hovering handling or sudden restraint, but when you go at his pace, heâs thoughtful, cooperative, and incredibly sweet. Heâs the kind of dog who bonds through trust. Give him time, move slowly, and heâll reward you with soft check-ins, gentle treat taking, wiggly walks, and leaning into your hand for just one more pet. Peso doesnât want to be rushed. He wants to be understood. And once youâre on his team? Heâs all in.
