Arlo needs an experienced new foster home before end of this week. 😟 Best as only dog for training. He was doing well at his current foster home but he needs one on one supervision and set boundaries. Use bladder wrap inside home. No sofa, furniture or bedroom privileges. Arlo marked the pillow on bed a 2nd time of husband’s side that reached the mattress. Fh has 3 dogs so hard for them to keep him sep in his own area since he follows the pack. As many if us know, it can take a minute for a dog to mark. Best to keep space small and set a dog pen with his dog bed or crate when you can’t supervise him and for overnight. No free roam of home. Use baby gates to block off rooms. No over coddling til he learns the rules and listens to guardian. He did well on their Thanksgiving week visit at a relative’s home. They set up sep and quiet room.
Leash trained on walk. He is confident but made mistakes. With many dogs in the home, he may mark even though he is neutered. Need routine, rules and set boundaries.
If only dogs could talk.
Update 12/1/25: Need new experienced foster home by end of this week.
Cutie and confident Arlo, pomerian, 3 yrs, male, is ready for his dedicated and experienced adoption home. He was a behavioral challenge rescue from a shelter. He has learned at his foster home that he is safe and need continued guidance. He needs to stay off sofa and bed or will try to guard his space. Now he may grumble growl and get off the sofa when he sneaks up on the sofa. No coddling. He can be the only dog but fine with foster home’s 3 gentle dogs. Leash trained and brisk walker. He needs time to learn to trust person before being picked up. Good with his foster home and people he knows and trusts. He needs an experienced adult home and stable routine. No kids. Arlo is cute but he has a strong personality that needs the right guardian to guide him and time to adjust so he doesn’t fail and make mistakes. He's a GSD in a small pom body . 🥰
