Meet

Joey now Max

Age: 8 months old
Sex: Male
Color: Cream fur
Weight: 70 lbs
Joey has behavior challenges, and he must be in a structured, consistent, confidence-based environment.
Children: No
Other Animals: preferably no
Household Structure:
1. Predictable routine and clear, consistent boundaries.
2. Restricted furniture/bed privileges to prevent ownership disputes.
3. Adequate toys, enrichment, and interactive play to reduce frustration and oral fixation.
4. Continued positive-reinforcement training (he knows sit and stay).
5. Calm, leadership-focused handling—direction without intimidation. Handlers should maintain emotional neutrality, no displays of frustration, pity, or tension
Handler Style:
Balanced, confident leadership is essential.
Professional Involvement: Ongoing behavior-modification sessions with professional oversight are essential for long-term stability.
