About Ryuzaki
I’m Ryuzaki and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• Although, I've lots of new friends at the shelter and appear great with any other dogs, my previous family have said that I display food aggression towards other dogs. Due to this it's not recommended I go to a home that already has another dog.
• NO CATS due to me being a big goofy boy and I just want to chase and play with them.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Happy to live with children - I have previously lived with an 8 month old and was very gentle with them. However, I do get a bit bouncy when I'm excited so perhaps a family with older children would be best for me
Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• No other dogs - due to my food aggression towards them
My best features:
• LOVE people
• Housetrained
• I can sit, stay, come, lay down
• I love toys - especially squeaky toys
• I walk well on lead for such a big strong boy but I do pull sometimes so taking me for lots of walks in a harness should help me to slow down and enjoy myself.
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog. I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this or going to a home where someone is home most of the time or even better being with a family who can take me to work with them - any tradies looking for a best buddy?
• When I do become anxious I tend to chew on my paw pads which has previously led to infections. So I really need to find a family that best match my needs to stop this from happening in the future.
• My previous owner has said that I can be reactive to other dogs while on the lead (barking, pulling towards them). I haven't shown this behaviour at the shelter while on the lead and being introduced to new dogs. This may be a behaviour that develops once I become attached to my people. Training in this area would be great to stop this behaviour
