Kazu

Akita · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Kazu is a nearly 1 year old male Japanese Akita Inu with a big personality, a clever mind, and so much potential. Sadly, he is a young dog who has missed out on some of the early guidance, structure, and training that puppies need in order to grow into confident and well mannered adults. Despite this, Kazu is a genuinely lovely young dog who wants to learn, engage, and build a strong bond with his people. Like many adolescent Akitas, Kazu is currently full of enthusiasm and can be boisterous at times. He is still learning his manners and boundaries, but this handsome boy is eager to please and responds brilliantly to positive, consistent guidance. Since arriving in our care, our volunteers have been spending time working with Kazu and he has already shown how intelligent and eager to learn he is. Once his initial excitement settles, his focus improves greatly and he responds very well to positive reinforcement. He is highly food motivated, enjoys training sessions, and is already happy to offer a paw in return for a tasty reward. Kazu is looking for an owner who understands the Japanese Akita Inu breed and is prepared to invest the time, patience, and consistency needed to help him become the well balanced companion we know he can be. With the right leadership and ongoing training, he has every chance to flourish into a wonderful ambassador for his breed. Due to his lively nature, Kazu would be best suited to a home with dog savvy children aged 12 years and over. He would also benefit from an active and reasonably fit owner who can provide him with regular exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training opportunities. Kazu is not suited to life in a flat and will need a home with plenty of space and a secure garden with 6ft fencing where he can safely relax and continue learning about the world around him at his own pace. He will need to be the only pet in the home. Kazu has shown a tendency to chase cats and did not get along with the resident male dog in his previous home. He can also be reactive towards other dogs, so ongoing management and sensible handling around other animals will be essential. Underneath the excitement and typical adolescent behaviour is a loving young Japanese Akita Inu with a huge amount of potential. Kazu simply needs an owner who will see the wonderful dog he can become and give him the time, patience, and commitment he deserves. In the right home, he has every chance of growing into a loyal and rewarding companion. If you feel you could offer Kazu the experienced and dedicated home he needs, we would love to hear from you.
