About Loki
Loki is a purebred Rottweiler with a beautiful, friendly and loving nature.
Loki was surrendered to us after being picked up from a free to good home on Gumtree by well meaning people. Loki was scared, terrified in fact, of both the in house cat and a young rottweiler pup and couldn't be kept by them.
Loki is extremely people friendly and hasn't shown any aggressive responses . Loki went for his vet visit and was typically friendly to all the people and calm during both examination and vaccination. He greets people with a soft face and happily wagging tail although, as with all Rottweilers, he should be introduced properly to people at all times.
It appears Loki has had some bad experiences with other dogs in his younger years. Loki gets very nervous around other dogs and resorts to stress humping or cowering in their company. We are working on Loki's confidence around other animals slowly but it would be best if his exposure was only to trusted social dogs without any reactivity so as not to reinforce his fears.
Loki is extremely food oriented and easily distracted/trained with treats. Loki can sit and lay down, roll over. He is great in the car as a calm traveller and walks beautifully on lead. He just loves water...puddles, dams, rivers. He is very responsive to calm verbal commands. You don't need strength to work with this boy.
Loki is currently housed outdoors only due to his nervousness around other dogs. He appears house trained but does have accidents if his request to "go" is ignored.
Loki is a big gorgeous love bug but given his lack of confidence only a calm, confident rottweiler experienced guardian will be considered for this boy. Shrieking, easily flustered people need not apply. There's no doubt that Loki will grow in confidence given correct and supervised exposures to new experiences slowly and with patience.
A home with cats or small pets will not be suitable. Another dog home will need to be able separate until fully confident Loki can relax around them.
A face to face meeting will be a must and is not negotiable.
