Alejandro German Shepherd Dog Adult Male for sale in Austin, Texas

My story
Alejandro is a beautiful pup who is ALWAYS smiling. He also makes great eye contact and seems to be asking you to play whenever he looks at you. That or 'I love you'. Alejandro has very expressive eyes, so it's never hard to tell what he's thinking. While he can be shy at first with new people, once Alejandro decides you're okay, he becomes loose and wiggly and loves being pet, snuggling and getting butt scratches. Alejandro is also so much fun to watch play. His key feature is that he hops around like a rabbit, and he looks so happy just running and bouncing around in the yard by himself! Even his version of 'fetch' is adorable. You throw the ball, he pounces on it and then throws it around to himself while you look on. But if you call his name, Alejandro always drops the ball and comes running over. He may not be able to grasp the concept of fetch just yet, but he's always very attentive. He doesn't pull much on leash and does great on walks, he rides well in the car and appears to be house-trained. He also enjoys going to playgroup with his canine friends at the shelter and could go home with a well-matched doggie sibling. While fetch isn't his strong suit, Alejandro is still a super smart pup and enjoys learning. He's also very eager to please his people and is thriving in APA!'s Total Obedience Program (TOP), which is modeled after the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. As a TOP dog, Alejandro has a personalized training plan and works with a volunteer trainer several times a week, learning skills like sitting calmly when approached by strangers or other dogs, staying in a sit or down until told 'free,' coming when called and 'place', which means he will go to a specific place in your home on command. Once Alejandro successfully completes all the skills on his training plan, he will be considered TOP Dog Ready! Alejandro is working hard to become a wonderful companion, and as a part of APA's Total Obedience Program you can work with APA staff to continue to build a training relationship with him after adoption and master all the TOP dog skills together. Check out a video on APA's CGC program, on which the TOP was based: https://vimeo.com/ Alejandro would love a quiet home with people who will give him plenty of attention and playtime. In return, he promises to be your most loyal and affectionate companion. Come meet him!
