Maak kennis met Diesel

Dachshund · Male

I am Diesel, a Jack Russell/Poodle mix with a lot of baggage. I'm a sweet and affectionate dog, but also very anxious and uncertain. New people, unexpected situations, and changes are difficult for me. When I don't feel safe, I can bark, growl, snap or bite. That's out of fear, not because I want to be annoying. Slowly I am learning that this is not necessary and it's really getting a lot better. Everything just scares me. And that's understandable after everything I have been through. My biggest challenge is visits to the house. The doorbell and people coming in cause a lot of stress. Outdoors, I'm often more social and make contact with people easier. Once I trust someone, I build a strong bond and am incredibly loyal. I like to seek support from my owner and have a great need for rest, structure and predictability. I take medication daily to help my anxiety. With other dogs it usually goes well, although I find big, loud dogs sometimes exciting. Cats are not a good match and also loud noises, such as thunderstorms, make me very scared. I'm not the right dog for everyone. I need time, understanding and patience, but if you win my trust, you get an incredibly sweet and loyal companion in return.

NL·Show original

Ik ben Diesel, een Jack Russel/Teckel-kruising met een flinke rugzak. Ik ben een lief en aanhankelijk hondje, maar ook erg angstig en onzeker. Nieuwe mensen, onverwachte situaties en veranderingen vind ik moeilijk. Als ik me niet veilig voel, kan ik blaffen, grommen, uitvallen of happen. Dat doe ik uit angst, niet omdat ik vervelend wil zijn. Langzaam begin ik te leren dat dit niet nodig is en het gaat gelukkig echt al een stuk beter. Ik vind alles gewoon eng. En dat is ook niet gek na alles wat ik heb meegemaakt. Mijn grootste uitdaging is bezoek aan huis. De deurbel en mensen die binnenkomen zorgen voor veel stress. Buiten ben ik vaak een stuk socialer en maak ik makkelijker contact met mensen. Als ik iemand eenmaal vertrouw, bouw ik een sterke band op en ben ik ontzettend trouw. Ik zoek graag steun bij mijn baasje en heb veel behoefte aan rust, structuur en voorspelbaarheid. Ik gebruik dagelijks medicatie om mijn angst te ondersteunen. Met andere honden gaat het meestal goed, al vind ik grote, drukke honden soms spannend. Katten zijn geen goede match en ook harde geluiden, zoals onweer, maken mij erg bang. Ik ben geen hond voor iedereen. Ik heb tijd, begrip en geduld nodig, maar als je mijn vertrouwen wint, krijg je er een ontzettend lief en trouw maatje voor terug.

What life with Maak kennis met Diesel looks like

Maak kennis met Diesel is a adult dachshund dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.
