MEET MARSHALL

Marshall is a 3 year old Blue Heeler. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. His former owners love him, but ultimately realized their lifestyle wasn’t the right fit for his needs.

Marshall is an incredibly smart, loyal, and affectionate boy with his people. Once he bonds with you, he is the kind of dog that will truly be your sidekick. He thrives on having a job, clear structure, and consistent expectations.

Marshall is a true herding breed, and we want to be very upfront about what that means. He does have a history of nipping and struggles with reactivity, which will require lifelong awareness and management. At times he can be defiant and push back on boundaries, this may show up as nipping/lunging when he’s frustrated or trying to control movement.

That said, these behaviors were unintentionally reinforced in his previous home for some time, so it will take consistency, structure, and patience for him to unlearn them. The good news is he has already made great progress in training and is continuing to improve with time.

Marshall has a strong training foundation now. He knows obedience, has good manners, and is off-leash trained. He is currently continuing to work on socialization and neutrality around distractions while he’s with us.

Marshall isn’t for everyone but for the right person, he is going to be an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, driven dog and can provide the structure he needs, Marshall may be your perfect match.
