FENCE REQUIRED

This is Troi. He's a 1 year old black lab and weighs about 50lbs. We're not sure how well he does with other dogs, cats or kids but he has a generally playful demeanor. Needs his daily exercise so that he will be able to chill and relax the rest of the day at home. He will remind you that it's playtime and a quick round of tug or fetch or a quick walk is all he needs to keep his spirits up. Would recommend a yard as he needs to be able to run around, a fence would also be ideal as he is not trained well enough to come back to you on command. Over the past week, from knowing no commands, he is now able to recognize "stay" reliably in a home setting, we're now working on his other commands and incorporating some leash training (to control his excitement when he sees other dogs ) as well, and it's been delightful because he's such a fast learner!
