“I’ll give you my whole heart—I just need you to stay close while I learn to be brave.”
Hi, I'm Lincoln! I'm a 1.5-year-old Berner with a gentle heart, a smart mind, and all the loyalty you could ask for. I absolutely love people, cuddles, being petted, and staying close to my favorite person. Once I choose you, I really choose you! I'm happy, affectionate, eager to please, and very treat motivated. I'm also a quick learner—I didn't even know my new name when I arrived, but I figured out "Lincoln" in just two days! I've learned basic commands along with "gentle," "wait," "let's go," and "off," and I've already stopped jumping on people.
I'm house trained, walk nicely on a leash, and have excellent manners inside. I'm not destructive, don't chew things I shouldn't, and don't need to be crated—I do great free roaming the house. I also love playing with a ball, being groomed, and soaking up as many pets as you'll give me. I'm good with young children and would really benefit from having another confident dog in my forever home to help me feel secure.
My biggest challenge is anxiety. Loud noises and sudden movements can scare me, and I struggle when I'm separated from my person, especially since I'm happiest when someone is nearby. I'd thrive with someone who is retired, works from home, or can be with me most of the time. I also experience some nighttime anxiety and can become restless or bark. A patient family willing to continue working on my confidence and training would mean the world to me, and a training class could be a great way for us to learn together. I do okay in the car, although I'm still a little unsure about rides.
I'll also need a securely fenced yard because I'm much more comfortable doing my business in a yard than while I'm on a leash. I'm a sensitive boy who needs consistency, companionship, and reassurance—but underneath that anxiety is an incredibly smart, loving, joyful Berner who wants nothing more than to belong. Give me the security and guidance I need, and I'll give you one seriously devoted best friend.
