Barry is one big bundle of bouncy, lovable Barry-ness! This sensitive young boy may be a big boy, but he’s still finding his paws in the world and can be easily overwhelmed by new experiences. With the right person by his side, Barry has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion. Barry is a friendly, playful and food-motivated boy who loves sniffing, exploring and spending time with people once he has built a bond. He can be unsure when meeting new people and dogs, and may show this by moving away, lowering his body or tucking his tail, but with patience he becomes wonderfully wiggly and affectionate. Barry enjoys gentle fuss, enrichment, chews and enrichment games, which can really help him feel settled. He is still learning about home life and hasn’t been housetrained, so his new family will need plenty of patience and regular opportunities for him to toilet outside. He can also be sensitive to noise, handling and doorways, so a calm, gentle approach and plenty of positive reinforcement will be important! Barry is looking for an experienced, patient home where he can be the only dog, with opportunities to socialise regularly with suitable, steady canine role models. Due to his size and bouncy nature, he is best without cats or small furries, and without children. Barry will need a private, secure garden and access to safe spaces for off-lead exercise, ideally in a quieter, lower-dog-population area. His new family should be prepared for a gradual settling-in period, with someone around most of the time initially and alone time introduced very slowly through short absences. He’ll also need help learning to cope with everyday sounds, handling, walks and new people, while being given space when he feels worried. His family should be confident reading his body language and managing some of his stressy behaviours, using calm redirection. A predictable routine, enrichment, positive training and a quiet retreat of his own will help Barry feel safe and the chance to blossom!
