Bear is a neutered 2 year old (on November 4th ) Kelpie x collie. He is a very loving and affectionate boy and is full of character, he loves his tummy rubbed and snuggling up for a cuddle. He lived with a family but has found the household too busy so will need a more quiet setting where he can learn to relax with someone who has the time to continue his training.
He is trained with German commands but is responding well to learning English ones. Bear loves interacting with his person when there are no distractions, he loves his ball and would benefit from a job to do . He does like other dogs and has dog friends but he is over the top excited, barky & bouncy so his new friend would need a lot of patience until this is worked on. He can sometimes be reactive on lead, especially around cars and bike, and can be selective in which dogs he chooses to spend time with.
He is a car and bike chaser so this will need work, is crate trained and can be left for a few hours. Bear can sometimes be a bit growly if he’s unsure of something, eg. Didn’t like having his medical vest being put on and taken off and can be the same with a body harness, he will benefit from desensitiation. He has never taken this further but he must be listened to to prevent him from escalating. Bear lives happily with a cat, he wants to play but is very gentle with her. He is unsure of new cats and will bark so time and safety measures need to put in place when introducing to a new cat. He isn’t a resource guarder but in a new situation care must be taken.
