Sweet Doug
Doug was adopted by his present owners about a year ago. He came to them as a fairly well-trained pup who had no real problems. Sadly, this is not the case now. He had been an only dog, who was fine with dogs that he met socially, but living with them proved to be another matter. As a pup, he was not so dominant but, as he has matured, he has begun to 'find his feet' and he will be physically dominant with the two bitches in the house. He has been castrated, but he was in full testosterone surge when these behaviours began. Clearly, he does better in a home, where he is able to be the top dog, because he is the only one.
His actual nature is to be affectionate, energetic, easy to train, keen for a challenge and he loves walks and being active. I am confident that he will settle in the right home, without the constant irritant of an 'uppity bitch' (as he sees things).
Clearly Doug's training and responsiveness has been affected. We feel that anyone with good leadership skills could easily revise this. He is not a problem dog, as such. He is very playful and affectionate. His present owner is heartbroken to have to ask to rehome him and has struggled with this unworkable situation for months to prevent having to do so. She has finally come to the sad decision, for Doug's sake, as she feels that the constraints, which are currently necessary, are unfair to him.
