Max #29 Black Labrador Retriever Male 9 Months Old ID#2941

Max is an adorable 9 month, about 52 lb, black labrador who came under Brookline’s care from an owner surrender.  His owner just didn’t have enough time to spend with Max with two very young children.  He loves people, has lots of energy but no training and is your typical young friendly, outgoing Lab.  He loves to play fetch and loves the water!  Please read his blog from the bottom up.

One year old Max is ready to find his forever home!  He has been working with a trainer at Kamp, learning good manners and getting tons of exercise!

Max is high energy and must have consistent daily exercise.  He must have a fenced yard – he needs the opportunity to run and play daily.He would not do well crated all day – he needs breaks throughout the day and a chance to run around and get rid of that puppy energy.  He loves everyone he meets, but is still working on keeping all 4 paws on the floor and remembering that hands are not a chew toy so he would do better with older children.He would love a canine companion but not a feline.  His new furry buddy needs to match his energy level, as he plays hard and doesn’t tire easily.

Max is looking forward to meeting his forever family.

Max is still learning lots of new things at Kamp and having a blast playing with all of his doggie friends.  Max finally figured out how to play fetch, almost.  LOL

Max loves playing with other dogs! He loves to run and explore.  The trainer has been trying him out with a variety of breeds and sizes.  He is pretty high energy and gets so excited that it seems like he has unlimited energy.  He would be a great partner to another high energy dog.  They would do a good job wearing each other out.

With all this rain, we have discovered that Max is very good about being hosed off and towel dried.

The trainer started clicker training with Max, starting with him to give her good eye contact.  He figured it out pretty quickly!

Max has arrived at Kamp to get some basic training.  He knows his name but that’s about it. The trainer at Kamp will teach Max all of his good dog manners and basic commands  in no time.Max is very sweet, friendly (especially with young people) and curious.  Everything is new to him.He went on a walk today and did much  better than the trainer was expecting.  She said he seems quick to learn, and understood that pulling on leash is not okay after a little bit of time on leash.  He is having so much fun running, and sniffing in the play yard!

Max has had some play time with Brookline foster, Sheelo and Sheelo’s foster fur sister, Senna, and is doing well interacting with other dogs.
