Pickle

Pickle is a four year old male Cross-Breed of medium to large size who is highly intelligent, full of energy, and loves both cuddles and playtime. Pickles hasn’t experienced loads of new people in the home, when there are people such as work men, Pickle has a woof at the door, and then is redirected to his safe space and he goes in there brilliantly. Although Pickle is nervous and can be reactive towards strangers, he adores people once he gets to know them. He has not bitten nor growled at anyone but he does enjoy a quieter home. He is described as a very happy boy around people he trusts and is excited when they return to see him, once he knows someone he does not bark. On walks Pickle wears a collar, harness and lead, he is also muzzle trained for his safety as well as people out and about. This beautiful boy walks well on the lead, he is currently learning to heel and is making good progress with this. He can be strong for the first 10–20 minutes and then he calms down and is a pleasure to walk. Pickle is good with other dogs and could share his home with them pending a successful meet and slow and sensible introductions. He can become over-stimulated at times and does need to learn manners and socialisation. Pickle has previously lived with younger children and struggled with this, therefore, he is looking for an adult only home or with older dog-savvy children that will respect his boundaries, around 16 years plus. Pickle does show prey drive and therefore cannot share a home with cats or small furries. Pickle is toilet trained and crate trained, he can currently be left alone for up to 4 hours with no issues and sleeps well overnight. Pickle is a wonderful dog – highly intelligent and full of energy. However, he doesn’t require massive walks or runs, he just as much enjoys chilling with you at home. I think he’d enjoy some sort of agility or scent training for mental stimulation. His favourite things are squeaky balls and sand pits. He loves a good pamper and will stand for ages for a groom and lets me clip his nails. He loves a good cuddle and will head bop you to get one. Whilst he does have his quirks there are easy ways around them and as long as time and patience is given to him he will make a fantastic companion.
