Look at these dogs working hard in puppy class! Training though some very distracting environments and getting exposure to many new sounds, people, things, dogs etc. Nicely done!

Dog friends- Toby needs a shepherd savvy home asap.

“Toby is a 3.5 year old German Shepherd / Cane Corso mix, 90 pounds. Fixed, healthy, up to date on all vaccinations. He’s incredibly beautiful, smart, loving, playful, and very obedient. We adore him, but he is extremely anxious around our children’s friends, and we feel it’s no longer safe for him to live with us. He should be in a home without children, in a quiet area, with an owner who knows shepherds and can dedicate time to ongoing training. He is a rewarding dog if his individual needs are respected. We live in upstate NY.

Here’s why he’s great:
Highly receptive to training
Loves to learn. Would be great at rally and scent-work
House-trained, crate-trained, stays off furniture, doesn’t beg
Good in cars
Likes fetch, tug, toys, bones
Loving and loyal

Here are some of his ongoing issues:
He had two separate incidents where he nipped an adult while outside on a walk; both times, the adult got close to our children and we believe he was being protective of them. He nipped and immediately retreated.
Still building confidence in new situations
Doesn’t like kids outside of family

Neutral:
Not into agility
Limited dog socialization (but does well when introduced properly)
No experience with cats”
