Personality: Hello! My name is Wiley and I am an affectionate and excitable boy who goes hyper seeing my favourite volunteers during my stay in the shelter. Also when I was staying there, I was quite fearful and tuggish on my walks. After some months in the shelter, Lady Luck started shining on me when my foster parents decided to take me home in January this year!
With a more stress-free life now living in a home, I learn the art of containing my excitement better when greeting the humans and my anxiety during walks is pretty much reduced (although it does act up sometimes still!).
I love my humans and like to stalk them at home; so I would keep trying to go into their room although I am not allowed to! On walks, I walk quite well on the leash but avoid noisy places and noisy humans. If I get scared, I stop in my tracks and need encouragement to continue walking. I get excited when walking past dogs and always attempt to move towards them to smell them. When left home alone, I miss my humans and bark occasionally (not persistently fortunately), but most of the time, I play with my own toys and chews and patiently wait for my humans to come home.
At home, I am super greedy but cautious at the same time especially when I take food from strangers. I am terrified of thunderstorms and need comforting during them. The commands I know are “sit”, “down”, “paw” and my expert antic is catching treats in mid air! As I am still a work-in-progress in terms of both my excitement at home and skittishness on walks, I will require a patient adopter who can remind me to stay calm during these times.
