‼️‼️‼️BANDIT IS URGENT DUE TO PLACEMENT‼️‼️‼️
Bandit is a 4yo fully-vetted, chipped, neutered male. He weighs about 100lbs. He knows sit, down, shake, kennel, recalls, and walks nicely on a leash. He is great in his kennel and he is potty trained. He is non reactive to strangers, joggers, bikes or vehicles while walking and parallel walks great with other dogs.
Bandit lost his foster home, and the rescue (foster-based) that is trying to help him has NOWHERE for him to go. He was in boarding for a short time, but he had the staff so scared of him that they could not take him out of his kennel. His foster mom went and picked him up and within 30 seconds of meeting him, she had him doing sits, downs and high fives through the door. She brought him home and have had no issues in the kennel there.
He is a resource guarder, but it’s manageable. He does not do well in a high-traffic home with people going in and out frequently, and needs time to get to know someone before he trusts them. He will absolutely take advantage of someone’s fear and exploit it, so a confident leader is a MUST, as well as someone who understands his limitations with strangers and resources.
He does okay at the vet with lots of reinforcement. He is muzzle trained and will come with his well-fitted Leerburg muzzle. He does get along with other dogs with a proper gradual introduction. He was overly interested in cats, so probably not a good addition to a cat household.
Bandit needs a rott savvy owner who can call his bluff when he gets big for his britches. Once you have some respect and a bond established with him, he is a great dog. He knows sit, down, shake, kennel, and he comes when he’s called. He understands “no”. He LOVESSSSSS to fetch. He’s highly food motivated and learns quickly, seems to enjoy training. Videos will be in the comments of him working with me and his foster mom on his interactions with strangers and him on a walk with another foster dog.
