Beautiful Benito

Benito is truly a charming and beautiful 4 yo male Golden. He weighs 70 lbs and current on his vet care. He has been recently neutered. He definitely wants lots of attention and will follow you everywhere. He's got a gorgeous sit-up (beg), which is captured in a photo. He just really wants lots of love. He does not know any basic commands except sit, which doesn't work for more than a few seconds. Foster is currently working on sit & stay. Foster has observed him playing with larger golden, and they do OK, but he is mouthy (also with Foster when he wants to play). So his play is aggressive, like he's still a puppy. He is recently neutered, so some of this behavior may start to change. Trying to keep that to a minimum. He does like toys/chew bones (found one under a chair I missed picking up), but we have kept everything up for now. Still, he will go for a blanket or a pillow, so he must be monitored and trained in this as well. He is fed in the same room with the other 2 dogs, but they are all triangulated around the center island. He is fed first because he eats more slowly than the foster's dogs, and they all finish around the same time. His dog bowl is picked up immediately after he finishes. He does attempt to counter surf, but again is learning what it is like to be in a home. Benito will need training and will receive reimbursement for completed training. Benito will make a GREAT companion to the right adoptee who works from home, who is committed to training, and can handle his strength. If you are interested, he is being fostered in San Luis Obispo.
