More about *HERMES

Hermes (A566475) is a young, energetic guy who’s ready to learn and eager to please! He walks okay on leash but is so treat motivated that he’s constantly checking in, sitting politely, and asking what’s next. Food is definitely the way to his heart — which makes him a fantastic candidate for training.Hermes has that fun, bouncy young-dog energy and would thrive with someone willing to channel it into structure and manners. He can get a little mouthy when he’s excited, but he responds well to clear, confident corrections and is very engaged with his handler. During time in the big pen, he showed interest in working through obstacles (especially when treats were involved!), though he wasn’t particularly interested in the ball.He does have a sign on his kennel noting he is not a playgroup participant, so he may prefer being your one-and-only or would need slow, thoughtful introductions. What he really needs is someone consistent who can continue teaching him polite behaviors.With his strong food motivation and desire to connect, a little training will go a long way in helping Hermes become an amazing, well-mannered companion. He has so much potential — he just needs the right person to help him shine. Animal Services Division3750 Brown Station RDUpper Marlboro, MD301-780-7200
