ce Cube is an affectionate and smart young dog. This beautiful little guy is energetic but also capable of chilling out with you on the couch or nearby in his own bed.

Ice Cube has displayed a preference for women, being apprehensive about interacting with men. He can be skittish around loud sounds and sudden movements as he has some obvious anxiety from his past. He has built a strong connection to his female foster parent and has shown some protective behaviour by occasionally growling at the male in the home.

He is mostly house broken but has had a few small accidents that we believe may be more territorial than thinking it's okay to pee inside. Ice Cube will not go into the backyard by himself to pee or poop and will sit at the door unless someone goes out with him.

He walks quite well on a leash when using a harness but pulls a lot when using only a collar. He loves walking and is excited to go out at any time of the day. He displays significant excitement when seeing other dogs on walks and tends to fixate on them until they are out of view. We have not tested Ice Cube with other dogs yet, though he was tested previously at the shelter in California.

We have not tested Ice Cube with kids or cats. We think he will likely be okay with children, but he should be monitored due to his tendency to jump up.

Ice Cube is learning how to play with humans still as he tends to jump on/towards people when he gets excited. We've been working on training out his jumping and he seems to be a fast learner, though he still jumps when he's excited, particularly at his primary caregiver.

He was doing well with his crate and using it as his safe space though has stopped going to it as he has become more comfortable in our home. He did manage to escape from it once without breaking the crate, but I think he could be crate trained with relative ease.

Ice Cube is still quite thin, and food focused. He eats very quickly so we have been feeding him using a towel snuffle mat to slow him down. He seems to be very smart and is picking up on simple training commands with the use of treats for motivation.

Ice Cube would thrive in a home with someone home with him during the day due to his separation anxiety. He would do well with a more experienced dog owner due to the anxiety and separation issues. This little guy is ready to get to know his forever family and would be an amazing companion for the family willing to gain his trust.
