About Teddy
Hi, my name is Teddy. I am 8 months old Maremma x Lab x Heeler male dog.
My foster mum calls me 'Teddy' cause I'm a big fluffy goofball. Currently, I live with 2 female bulldogs with my foster mum.
I was very scared when I arrived at the pound. Especially when my foster mum picked me up, I was scared of being in the car. It took me 1 week to be able to sleep through the night and starting to trust my foster mum.
Now I am a healthy 32kg boy, still growing, happy ( ... still goofy) and ready to learn to be a great canine citizen.
I am high energy and smart, thanks to my genetic mix. I need a combination of physical activity and mental stimulation. I really love being a part of the family pack so it has been really good for me to have my foster family at home more than not.
Sometimes I also like to watch the TV when it is showing animals especially cows and dogs. I love my hugs and belly rubs (that's the lab in me), plus I am still a pup so I'm curious about everything.
When I'm excited I get jumpy. Other dogs sometimes take this the wrong way and they bark at me and so I bark back. But my foster mum is training me to be more of a gentleman & not jump, and I am getting better EXCEPT when I see a cat! I chase cats.
Not being rehomed with cats.
My other tricks I'm learning: sit, stay, drop, Check (for recall) and Leave It (to get my attention back). My favourite treats are liver treats or cheese. During my obedience training with my foster mum, I'd do almost anything for a good cheese!.
Other than that, My leash walk is pretty good. I am toilet trained, I am much better with the car ride and I know how to use the dog door.
I spend most time inside the house except when the weather is nice I go run around in the backyard or at the park with my foster pack. I sleep inside the house on my own bed.
Because I am still a pup, continuous obedience training with positive reinforcement is very important for my development. Be patient with me, once I know I can trust you and we have mutual respect (that's the Maremma gene in me) I will be your best friend and the most loyal canine member of your family.
