Ice 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.
Personality Traits: Ice Cube is an energetic little guy who loves to be around his people. He absolutely adores being pet and shows his love through ample kisses.
Pastimes and Preferences: Ice Cube loves walks, snacks, wrestling, and pets! He is always looking for affection and definitely prefers wrestling to playing with toys at this time.
Behavioral Traits: Cube is obsessed with the idea of other dogs. He is friendly but needs training on dog introductions still as he tends to be rude and goes too excitedly into new dogs’ faces. We are still working on his aggressive behaviour in the home that arise from resource guarding or protecting the female in our house. He will growl, bark, and charge at others entering the room when the main female care giver is present. This behaviour did get worse as his attachment grew, but is slowly improving with consistent training. We are not sure how he is with cats. He has been pretty good around kids around 3/4 years old in a controlled environment. However, since he can sometimes lash out when feeling anxious or when guarding his person we recommend a home with older kids only.
Training and Accomplishments: Ice Cube’s leash training is going very well after some sessions with Cori. We are still working on not jumping when excited and staying calm when passing other dogs, but he is improving every day.
Medical Concerns: Cube appears to be intolerant to chicken. He had surgery at Christmas due to an infection from the neutering that occurred prior to his arrival in Canada. He has recovered well!
Ideal Home: Cube would do best in a home where he is not left alone too often and with a family who is willing to work through some of his attachment issues and growing his confidence. We think more experienced home would be best given his tendency to “resource guard” one human in our home.
