About Benji

Meet Benji, a bright, energetic young dog looking for the right home to help him truly thrive.Benji is full of life and enthusiasm and loves to be on the go, so he is searching for an active home that can provide plenty of exercise as well as mental stimulation to keep his clever mind busy. He absolutely loves treats, which makes him a great candidate for positive, reward-based training. He already knows how to sit and some other commands, and he will enjoy continuing to learn with the right guidance.He would really benefit from an owner who has experience with similar breeds, or someone confident and committed to continuing his training journey.While out and about, Benji can feel unsure around other dogs. With the right guidance, patience, and ongoing training, he has great potential to build his confidence in these situations. He will need someone who can calmly support him and help him learn that the world is not such a worrying place.Due to his high prey drive, Benji is not suited to a home with cats or small animals.Benji is looking for an adult-only home, or one with secondary school-aged children who can understand and respect his needs and boundaries.As he settles into a new environment, Benji may need a little time and patience to adjust. He is still a young boy at heart and can sometimes forget his size and strength when he gets excited. With positive guidance, he will benefit from learning how to channel his energy into appropriate toys and games.Benji will also need continued muzzle training at home to help him feel safe and secure. Full support and guidance will be provided for this.With the right person by his side, Benji has so much potential to grow into a loyal, fun, and rewarding companion.
