Ollie

Hi! I’m Ollie 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
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A patient family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time.
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• A dog friendly cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• 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
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as I can be very shy & nervous, older children who understand that they will need to take is slow with me should be ok.
• I can be shy at first so I need a family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time

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 young children as I can be a bit shy in new situations and with new people and little ones may accidently scare me. Older children who will be involved with my training should be ok

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Gentle & placid
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks, I already know how to sit & lay down.
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I am shy at first with new people and in new environments so will require a family who will take their time allowing me to settle in and continue on with my socialization
• Unsure in new situations – more socialising is needed
• I love my food using treats as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
