Arlo is coming along with his training. He is much more responsive to his trainers since he first came to rescue and has been making steady progress with his commands and focus. Arlo needed a total reset and it’s been a slow process to get him where he needs to be. He recently had a full blood panel of bloodwork and testing and all was within normal range. He hasn’t been on any medication for anxiety for months now. The trainers want to be 100% sure that Arlo is ready to move on to a forever family and home and will continue to work with him until that happens. When he is ready, we will want his potential adopters to work with him under the direction of the trainers before taking him home. We are fairly confident Arlo will get there, we are not rushing anything and want him to be fully ready when the time comes for him to move on. Huge thanks to the trainers at Hanlon’s K9 for all of the work they are putting into Arlo. He is a beautiful boy and learning how to be a well behaved companion.
Arlo is a big beautiful 22 month old black natural eared Dane who came in to rescue after being returned to the shelter where he was surrendered as a 7 month old, twice adopted and twice returned. Arlo is big and strong and has no manners, but he is so sweet and loving and needs to learn how to show his love appropriately. So Arlo was sent for board and training to learn manners and how to become an obedient companion. He has great potential and MAGDRL is working on helping him be all he can be. He will need an adopter who will continue to work on his commands and training. He will have lifetime access to his trainer so that will come with Arlo’s adoption.
Arlo came to MAGDRL in October of 2024 and will not be available for adoption until he completes his training. Then he will need a foster home or adopter.
Arlo is good with cats and small animals, he has no prey drive. He would probably do best as an only dog as he is such a rough player.
Keep checking back for updates on Arlo’s progress.
