River | Goldendoodle | Rosamond, California
River, the 10-month-old golden doodle, is a bundle of energy and love. Despite his charming and affectionate nature, River has a few behaviors that need fine-tuning. He has a habit of counter-surfing, pulling on the leash during walks, and getting easily distracted when out in public. His exuberance can sometimes lead to disruptive excitement, but he’s wonderful around both humans and other dogs. With his irresistible charm and a little guidance, River is on the path to an incredible transformation. Stay tuned to witness his progress!
