... character
As a puppy, Kovu was not an easy task as he liked to bite into anything. Even today, in rare cases he puts the leash in his mouth out of frustration. But he has developed significantly and has become an adult dog.
However, he has his own little problem: when he meets other dogs and some people, he sometimes reacts impulsively and goes forward when he feels unsafe. But since we've been working on encounter training, he's shown clear progress and is becoming more and more relaxed.
Even with new people, he needs some time to warm up, but once you reach his heart, he reveals his loving side.
In addition, Kovu is a big cuddly bear who loves to have his inner thigh scratched. He stands with his legs wide apart to make it easier for us, or he lets his stomach be scratched and falls to the floor with a clumsy thud. During encounter training, touch also helps him to relax again.
Kovu is a very smart animal through and through, but doesn't have much of a preference for traditional training, preferring to get his cuddles. On normal walks without encounters, he proves to be an extremely pleasant companion.
