He came to his family in Bavaria at around 4 months old and currently lives with another dog. Unfortunately, his people now have to search for a new home for him with heavy hearts. Picolino is in the middle of puberty, a phase where young dogs question a lot, test boundaries, and sometimes react emotionally faster than usual. Due to this, conflicts have been increasing between him and the existing only dog, to the point where the only dog no longer feels safe in its own home and has unfortunately already been injured. For both dogs and the family, the situation has become a permanent stress, so a spatial separation is the most responsible way forward. Despite this, Picolino has many wonderful qualities. When he builds trust and feels secure, he shows himself to be a cheerful, curious, and very eager-to-learn companion. He is very cuddly, builds a close bond with his people, and with his charming, sometimes a bit playful nature, always brings a smile to their faces. He masters the basic commands reliably and has even learned some small tricks. He particularly enjoys search games and mental exercises. Carrots are among his absolute favorite treats. He can be left alone for a few hours, ideally with some mental stimulation to keep him from getting bored. Outdoors, Picolino is attentive and closely observes his surroundings. He likes to work with his people and is a sporty dog who enjoys movement and mental stimulation in nature, such as running or balancing on tree trunks. He is well-attuned to his primary caregiver and knows to stay by the roadside until he receives the release signal. He also masters car rides without issues and can handle trips of up to an hour. However, Picolino also brings some challenges. In new or unfamiliar situations, he initially reacts uncertainly and suspiciously. If something overloads him, he may go forward. With calmness, patience, and clear guidance, he can be addressed and guided through such situations. Loud noises unsettle him, especially fireworks scare him. In contact with other dogs, Picolino shows himself to be very confident and sometimes dominant. He often observes encounters with other dogs, bicycles, or passersby skeptically but can be redirected with calmness and treats. Due to the tense situation with the only dog, precautionary muzzle training has been set up. Picolino can be comfortably fitted with a muzzle and wears it calmly. For Picolino, we are looking for a home as a single prince with dog-experienced, active people without children. A quiet environment, preferably with a garden and a rural setting, would be ideal for him. What is most important to us is that his future people understand that Picolino is still in the middle of his developmental phase. Puberty can be a turbulent time for dogs, just like for us humans. During this phase, they need extra patience, clear orientation, and people who give them security. Many of his current behaviors are typical of young dogs in puberty and can be further developed and steered into positive directions with patience, training, and clear guidance. Once Picolino has built trust, he shows himself to be a loyal and faithful soul who bonds closely with his people. Picolino is microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. Of course, he also has his EU passport and is allowed to travel after a positive health check. Could Picolino fit with you?
