I had a very similar to Ria experience. He is a very sensitive to the human behavior dog.

I had the pleasure of walking Kostik yesterday. He is a phenomenal dog who is ready to be on your couch and give you kisses.

- Kostik is still a puppy so he has puppy energy and is slightly unsure at times, I wouldn't even say he is shy. But when you show him it's okay, he is so brave. For example, he is not afraid of cars or loud motorcycles passing, he is curious. He seemed a bit more spooked at loud sudden footsteps, but overall he is a confident, energetic, dog.

- Not afraid of the rain during our entire rainy walk :) 

- At the beginning of the walk he wasn't pulling me back to the shelter like they often do, he's very 'go with the flow' and trusting

- He is so affectionate!! He was mostly interested in jumping on us so we would rub his head and try to give us kisses. He didn't want to go back down on the floor and kind of held us with his paws like a hug. He really wants love.

- Kostik liked it when I talked in a soft, gentle voice and rubbed his head, he looked like he was going to fall asleep at the end of our walk

- Even though he is a puppy, he's very good on the leash. Follows you happily, doesn't pull, agrees to be redirected. 

- Likes running with you, again, very good on the leash
Kostik is the sweetest boy that is going to make a really loving and adventurous companion. 

Хорошенький! Хороших тебе хозяев и много доброго
