About Arrow (Pointer anglais) in Omaha

Arrow is waiting for you at Great Plains Pointer Rescue in Omaha, NE 68130. Arrow is a sweet, affectionate boy who settles in quickly and loves being near his people. He’s what we’d call a “velcro dog” once he knows you—happy to follow you around, curl up on the couch, and soak up attention (bonus: he’s a fan of relaxing TV nights). He has a nice balance of energy. He enjoys walks and occasional zoomies, but they’re short-lived and he’s mindful of his surroundings. Most of the time, he’s perfectly content lounging and snuggling. Training & Behavior Arrow is eager to please and very food-motivated, which makes training a great opportunity to continue building on what he already knows. He currently knows “sit” and has a solid foundation to grow from. Recall: Arrow has good recall overall, especially with praise and rewards. Like any dog, it’s not 100% foolproof, so a secure area or long line is recommended. Leash skills: Walks well on leash but may pull if he catches an interesting scent. He’s responsive and can be redirected easily. House training: When home, Arrow clearly signals when he needs to go out by going to the door and pawing. Crate/alone time: He has had accidents when left alone, likely related to some separation anxiety. This is something his future family should be prepared to continue working on. Important: Fencing Arrow has shown that he can climb a chain link fence, especially if he’s trying to get to his people. He is not trying to run off—he wants to be with you—but this means a standard chain link fence is not considered secure for him. A privacy fence or supervised outdoor time is strongly recommended. In the Home Arrow has done well being loose in the home while people are around. He may help himself to “goodies” if they’re left within reach, so a little management goes a long way. Other Pets & Kids Dogs: He’s done well meeting other dogs and shows great social awareness. He respects boundaries and backs off appropriately
