Mercury is the most laid back dog Ive ever met and has very little drive, but he learns very quickly and seems to want to do what he is supposed to, just because he is supposed to. He sits because he is supposed to but isn't interested in any kind of treat Ive come across and doesn't seem to care much about toys either. Nothing bothers him (except gets nervous around santa we've just found out) but that goes both ways. He just doesn't seem to care about much of anything. He is attached to my kids and I but as long as he knows where we are is content to sleep far away from where we are in the room. I have never come across a spoo like him, they are usually stuck to their people like glue aren't they?
I would love to do an activity with him, partially held make our bond stronger. I can't do conformation with him because he doesn't fit the standard. He is being trained as a therapy dog but I want to do an aditional activity with him so HE will get to have fun. What would fit his temperment? We are starting obedience classes with the AKC kennel club in Jan and want to know what direction to head from there. I had planned on showing him in obedience but just don't know if he would get any enjoyment out of that.
