Dexter is a gorgeous 5 year old GSP/Labrador cross. His family have made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him because he can’t live safely with their new baby. They tried their best to prepare him for this ahead of the baby arriving, and worked with a behaviourist, but it’s not working and feels unsafe. They are devastated. Dexter was a nervous puppy when he joined his family but Oscar, their other dog, helped him come out of his shell. He is good with other dogs. If a dog takes issue with him he doesn’t react, he just defends himself and backs away. He goes to work with his dad and is great in the office. He also goes camping with his dad’s friends and all of their dogs. He has really good recall and knows lots of basic commands. He loves toys. He travels really well in the car. Dexter doesn’t like strangers and does best when completely ignored. He is fine if on lead and they aren’t close but is triggered if someone tries to stroke him or leans down into his space. He gives a sequence of clear signs that he is uncomfortable, finishing with a growl, which is good communication. If these cues are missed, he will bark and lunge, and will nip at clothing. He is easy to distract and call away and can calm back down. His current owners have managed this well by controlling his environment. They also worked with a behaviourist to help them find a routine to introduce him to friends and family and his progress has been amazing. He is great with familiar people and the routine can still be used effectively for new people.
