Meet Teddy Teddy is a 3 year old entire, long haired Black and Tan male who is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. Sadly due to his owners health, they are no longer able to provide Teddy with the level of exercise and activity he needs. Teddy is very protective of his home and property and can be vocal when people approach the house or when neighbours are in their garden. It is important that potential adopters are fully aware that Teddy does have a bite history. On one occasion, when the children opened the door to accept a pizza delivery, Teddy bit the delivery driver on the arm. When our volunteer arrived to carry out Teddy’s assessment, Teddy was wearing a muzzle and was very protective of the doorway. He was vocal towards our volunteer but made no attempts to lunge at. Our volunteer and Teddy’s owner then took him out for a walk. Away from the property, Teddy was much more relaxed. He passed people and vehicles without showing any concern or reaction. Our volunteer then took Teddy’s lead and walked him alone for a further 10 minutes. Teddy walked nicely without pulling and listened well to basic commands and instructions. Once they returned to the house, Teddy was comfortable around our volunteer and happily took treats gently from their hand. No aggressive behaviour towards our volunteer was observed inside the home following the walk. Teddy currently lives with older children and is reported to be gentle with them. He has never lived with another dog, although he has spent time around other dogs and his owner reports that there have been no issues. Teddy is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He also loves travelling in the car. He is currently fed once a day on kibble mixed with gravy based wet food. Teddy is a little underweight and currently lacks muscle condition, which is believed to be due to his reduced level of exercise. He is microchipped but is not currently up to date with his vaccinations. Teddy will require an experienced German Shepherd owner who understands protective and territorial behaviour and is prepared to put consistent work into his training particularly doorway and threshold training. His new owner will need to manage visitors and access to the property responsibly while continuing to work on Teddy’s confidence, boundaries and behaviour around the front door. Away from the property, our volunteer saw a very different side to Teddy – a dog who walked calmly, listened to instructions, passed people and vehicles without issue and was happy to interact and take treats gently. Teddy needs an experienced, committed home that can provide him with the exercise, structure, training and appropriate management he needs to thrive.
