Things we learned about Marley during this trip.
Does not like German Shepard’s
Not like dark, sound and movement he well bark and growl, you can pet his nose when he growling.
Dark ok when in his crate
Will go to bed on his own if crate door is open 8:30-8:45
Does not like peeing on dirt, likes grass
Does not like to be told where to walk
Does not like me after I have taken him out for his morning pee, but likes everybody else
Does not bite, he will reach out and grab your hand but doesn’t bite it.
Will only let Harry take him out to pee in the morning.Jean puts his harness on he will walk to the door, I can use both hands to hook up his leash and we go out for a morning pee.The rest of the day he will let me pet him with one hand at a time, if I move the other hand or a leg he runs off. If I take him outside he will stand by the steps and not take any steps away from the coach.
He likes fresh water, needs fresh water every day or he will not drink out of his bowl. He will drink out the water bowl until he goes to bed but it has to be a new bowl every morning or he will not drink.
