About Theo
I'm Theo 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
• Rides in the car
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction - I have previously lived with cats and a rabbit
• 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
• I can be shy at first so I need a family who'll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
• A big back yard is a must! I'm a cross between two very active breeds so leaving me in a small yard or courtyard is not what I'm looking for in a new home
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
My best features:
• LOVE people
• Housetrained - with puppy training pads
• Happy to hang out with other dogs, as long as they are friendly & playful. I've been attacked by a dominant dog previously so I'm very scared around them.
• Gentle
• I love the water
• 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 may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this or having a doggie friend to keep me company.
• Being a young boy I will require full basic training including walking on a lead or in a harness
• As with all young dogs I do like to chew on things, so please give me things you're happy for me to chew and teach me not to chew other things using positive reinforcement.
