About johnny bravo: JOHNNY BRAVO A1095567 A volunteer writes: Starting my day with an oh so handsome date is the best! Johnny B is magnificent in his gleaming, uniquely colored coat, serious face and wagging tail. He sits for treats, shakes both paws, is housetrained per his former owner (and did potty as soon as we were out the door), bowed and then bounced after a ball I threw but preferred playing with a soft toy and thats just the surface of his many talents. He loves meeting new people, snuggled close to me when I sat down to take some notes, and loved getting under his chin scratched, raising his head so cat like. Hes a head turner for sure, stunning in his simplicity. Johnnie B has enjoyed gentle play in group with both males and females, responding to correction if needed and should not be in a home with cats or other small dogs and critters. Named after a cartoon character who is debonair and sure that everyone loves him, his famous line is I am pretty, you are pretty, what do you say we go home and stare at each other? What a perfect ending to his story!! Come meet him today! A volunteer writes: Johnny Bravo came into our care as a stray, so we do not know his history, but we do know that he is sweet and affectionate as can be. Johnny knows how to sit for treats and take them very gently, seems housebroken, and is very happy to climb into your lap and lick your face if given the chance. Clearly a people lover, Johnnys tail is always wagging, and goes even faster when he sees his favorite volunteers and staff approaching. Although hes quiet in his cage, Johnny loves going for walks and does pull a bit, but is responsive to his walker. Come and see this sweetheart today!

DOG DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: ENERGY LEVEL: Johnnys previous owner describes him as a high energy dog. In the care center he has been active and enthusiastic. He will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide and seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. We recommend only force free, reward-based training methods for Johnny Bravo. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) No cats: Due to Johnnys history of chasing stray cats and mauling at least one to death, he must not be placed into a home with cats or where he may come into contact with cats. ENRICHMENT: 4/14: Johnny Bravo is easily leashed and removed from his kennel. Once outside his kennel, he pulls hard on leash. Once outdoors, Johnny Bravo uses the facilities then is taken off leash in a pen. He runs around and jumps up at the handlers seeking attention. He responds well to his name and the cues sit, paw, and rollover. He is easily re leashed and placed back in his kennel at the end of the interaction. 4/15-4/18: Johnny Bravo is easily leashed and removed from his kennel. Once outside his kennel, he pulls slightly on leash. Once outdoors, he uses the facilities, then engages in some training with his handler. He responds well to his name and the cues sit, paw, and rollover, and solicits attention from handlers. He is easily re leashed and placed back in his kennel at the end of the interaction.
