This is my new sweet boy Toshi, Jindo mix, upon doing research and photo comparisons I think he’s Jindo Malinois mix, which if it’s true I’m in for a wild ride, any advice??
Toshi is about a year old, he’s personable but he’s a yapper. Fastest dog I’ve ever seen in my life, will run for hours and hours no problem, jumps over 2 dogs at a time at the park 😭. He was found in a wildfire and I’m only about 2 months in so I know there’s still growing pains but I have some questions. Any specialists / people who can confirm or deny this mix idea (I know it’s not possible from pics but for training purposes any insights would be helpful). Any one with helpful info on strengthening bond and making him more comfortable on furniture??? Anyone have success with fetch? He seems to not care at all and is rather unmotivated by food. He’s very sweet, yet also aloof and on his own time. We’re working on recall but to no avail (big area I’m looking for help in he won’t listen to a word I say when he’s off leash). He keeps barking at the cat, but is slowly acclimating to the other dog. I’m doing my best to run with him twice a day and also dog park/ long walks, trying to train daily and keep him mentally stimulated but I’m a first time owner (with a partner who’s a vet and has a dog) and feel like I went from having no dog to having an S tier difficulty dog. Don’t get me wrong I love him, have no regrets, and am very happy, but I want to do the best I can so am looking for advice from any/every one, thanks in advance!
