This tough boys name is Muffin. About a year and a half ago, I took him in because I was told by a friend that a dog was dumped in her neighborhood and her neighbor was threatening to shoot him. I have fostered and rehomed animals before, and I currently work as a trainer at a doggy daycare/board and train so I believed I would be able to take him in and rehome him. After a few weeks of owning him, I noticed signs of reactivity/aggression with him. He tried to bite a vet tech at his first vet appointment, he started lunging and barking through the gate/kennel when people would come over, he guarded toys, and I was unable to take him in public without him lunging or barking at a person/car/dog. When I first took him in I was new to training dogs, I have learned a lot since then but I am by no means a professional trainer. I have worked with my boss who is a professional trainer (CPDT-KA) with Muffin to improve his behavioral issues and we have made great strides. He does well with obedience and always enjoys doing sport or learning new tricks. I am now able to take him out in public, he no longer lunges at everyone through a fence/gate, and he can play with a ball/fetch without him guarding or trying to hide his ball. He does still get triggered at times, especially behind a barrier or if he sees someone, specifically a kid, holding something. While he is potentially a bite risk he has no bite history. I truly love this dog and I’ve developed a strong bond with him but I can not keep him. Since I took him in he has brought my life a tremendous amount of anxiety, one of the only reasons I have been able to manage his care is my job. However, I am moving soon and looking to change my career and I cannot do either of those and still be able to manage Muffins’ care. I need to rehome him as soon as possible. I am considering surrendering him to a shelter but I know that is not the right environment for him. He is a high-energy dog who needs to be worked and engaged. He is a very quick learner, and he loves to do tricks, play fetch, swim, and dive. He gets along well with other dogs that can match his energy level. He has never done any work on a ranch or with any sort of livestock as far as I am aware. He does better with men and can be more reactive towards women so he would likely need a male handler. He would make a wonderful dog for an active individual that could keep him engaged. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Please message me, or call me if you have any questions or are interested. 1431 visitors have viewed this ad
