Koji is a small dog full of energy and enthousiasm. He loves attention when he gets to know you. His trust must be earned and at first he can be a bit standoffish. With other dogs he is great when he's off leash. On leash he can get a bit over enthusiastic and jumpy, which we are slowly teaching him not to be. He listens very well inside and on leash but off leash he can be a bit unreliable and mostly ignores commands. He tends to take some distance but comes back. So we only let him off leash in enclosed doggy parks and on occasion at the beach.
