ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Macaron is a sweet dog that needs a bit more confidence in the world, but does great meeting new people and will warm up well to new dogs! Once he gets comfortable, he is a true cuddle bug. Be prepared to relinquish any personal space!He would be great for an adult who is looking for a companion. He is ok being crated for 6 or so hours, but still needs training to be left alone for longer outside of the crate. He's done great at doggy daycare, which is another good option.

Macaron needs some extra training with leash manners. He is food motivated so using treats to train has been very helpful. Since he is so in love with his people, he has great recall! Macaron could use a little more help with sticking to a regular bathroom schedule.
