About Milo

Milo is a playful boy with so much love to give. He loves attention and cuddles from his human and canine family members. Milo is an explorer and loves to sniff around and meet new people. Milo is a quick learner and has learned some new tricks and house etiquette with the help of his foster sisters and brother. Milo has hops! He's a big climber and can even make it on to benchtops. Despite this he has learned how to use a ramp to make sure that his back is nice and safe. We have also started introducing dental care. Milo has his own toothbrush and is slowly getting used to having his teeth brushed. He is also not aggressive with cats but does want to chase and play.

Personality Highlights

Milo gets very excited and loves a kiss! Milo is best suited to a home with hustle and bustle, he loves to explore one moment, play with his friends the next and then finish off with some love from his mum or dad. Milo can be a picky eater and may take a while to settle making him not so food orientated in the beginning. Milo loves to play tug of war and tag and his favourite pastime is a walk. He lets you know all about his excitement when the leads come out . He likes a good nap along as he gets to cuddle and burrow under the blankets. He is also quite little so can get cold easily

Current Training Progress

●      House Training: Major improvements. From coming in with no toilet training at all and spraying constantly he is now 70% of the way there although he still has spraying tendencies. Recently desexed and vet said these are likely to leave as his body clears additional hormones

●      Lead Skills: Milo has lots of energy and gets very excited, so we are working on reducing pulling during walks

●      Social Skills: Milo is very loving to everyone. With some people he bonds instantly and others he is a little wary to begin with but everyone ends up at the same place with milo - loved!

Daily Care

●      Diet: Currently on a hybrid diet being fed Lyka with Taste of the Wild kibble. He is picky and high-quality food is his preference. Milo thrives on a diet that regularly incorporates human grade meats such as chicken breast, beef, mince, turkey, etc. 

●      Exercise: Enjoys active playtime and regular walks

●      Sleep: Settles well through the night when sleeping with family (but is a bed hog)

●      Behaviour: No food or toy aggression, shares well with other dogs

Milo would flourish in a home that offers:

●      Patient owners committed to stimulating his intelligence and continuing his training journey

●      A house where someone is home often and there is much to keep him entertained

●      Canine companionship, as he enjoys the company of other dogs

●      A secure yard for exercise and bathroom breaks

●      Understanding that he needs time to warm up to new people
