🐾BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Triton is an absolute sweetheart. He greets people with a wiggly body, wagging tail, soft eyes and an open-mouth smile. He happily accepts face rubs, ear scratches and pets and has been called 'very sweet.'
He is gentle and easy to leash, walks nicely on a loose leash and remains calm and quiet in his kennel. He even stayed relaxed during his heartworm blood draw while dogs around him were barking loudly.
Triton generally pays little attention to other dogs while walking past them. On one occasion he growled toward a neighboring dog in an outside run but immediately stopped when verbally redirected. He also keeps his kennel clean overnight.
