Oliver is a high-energy dog who loves EVERYBODY! He is very intelligent and knows many tricks, but needs to go to obedience class to learn the important basics like recall, drop it, stay, etc. He is getting better at coming when called. He walks great on a leash, but this sometimes depends on what collar we have on him. He has very bad separation anxiety because he loves us so much! He can be fast but when chasing other dogs he gets lazy and gives up halfway.
He was a stray dog that was picked up by the Niagara Falls Humane Society when he was about 6 months old. He was the "problem dog" with a mouthing/biting issue. He still has this to a degree but is getting MUCH better. (daddy encourages it without meaning to with rough play that mommy discourages)
