Bruno

Bruno is a Lab x GSD who was surrendered due to a scrap with another male dog and for getting overstimulated around young kids and their visiting friends.
We now have Bruno running with 12 other dogs without issue but only achieved with very slow introductions and active supervision.
Bruno can have good recall in house but gets distracted out and about. Bruno has grown up with a cat . He is very well housetrained without an accident since he was brought in. He can be a food thief if tasty things are left out to devour.

He will benefit from ongoing lead training and a good “no pull” harness as he does pull hard into a walk at first although he settles after several minutes.

Bruno gets very easily overstimulated and resorts to barking when excited ...going in the car ...hearing other barking dogs ...or not being included in play ...and he barks loudly . Understanding neighbours will be required .

Bruno’s quirks can be corrected with patient training and reducing the level of stimuli he’s exposed to . Bruno looses focus when he hits his threshold so knowing when to calm him in all situations to bring him back to focus will be important .

I recommend a quiet, calm household that can teach Bruno the joy of Zen (calm his mind and reduce his excitable stress) with short regular walks without any overexcitement . He will be a terrific companion with calm and directed training .
