Zeus - West Midlands

Zeus is approximately 3 years old and in need of finding a new home due to his reactive nature around other dogs. Owners are now reluctant to take him out due to his strength at pulling towards other dogs. Zeus is a big lad who lives happily with children and indeed during the assessment a baby was crawling around and Zeus was oblivious. When our volunteer arrived Zeus appeared quite calm but did try to jump up to put his paws on his shoulder, once told down  Zeus was happy to sit and chew his bone and didnt bother our volunteer, however when he stood to go Zeus was again straight up and trying to get his paws on his shoulder (more to protect his chew than aggression towards our volunteer). Therefore going forward Zeus will need someone used to GSD wilful traits and take this lad back to basics. We feel Zeus would also benefit by being the only dog to gain the confidence of new handler and learn to listen to commands etc  Zeus is great at the vets, fine with people, just not socialised around other dogs. Our volunteer wasnt phased by Zeus in fact he thought he was rather an immature dog that gets a little over excited!
