This would be for Zak (dog reactive, like a cat on a lead, hence his nickname of pussy cat :().

I dont really care about the cost, but I would like a dog who doesn't try to dominate any dog smaller than him by attacking it (then best friends :rolleyes:) and one who is able to walk on a lead without whining and rearing up like a pony.

Ultimately, I'd like him to be less stressed and to enjoy his walks. He is muzzled, obviously, if free running and we're quite fortunate in that the OH does most walking at quiet times due to his shifts. Zak is adorable in the house and loves everyone who comes in. He appears quite fearful of people outside the house and will tolerate being touched, but is clearly not happy. He is submissive when voices are raised to ask him to do something or if someone is stood over him.

Would he cope with low impact agility (he has mild HD)?
 
Looking online and on here I see he was on Dog Borstal, you could look up YouTube also to get an idea?
He also seems to do a bit of security/PPD training so might be a no-nonsense type rather than a whale music and scented candles type :p

If he has HD I would lay off the jumping/table work but I am sure he could do weaves, tunnel etc.
How is his nose? Tracking might suit him.
 
Dunno about the nose. Both he and his brother don't seem to quarter like big dog: they just like to run but will race to Brig to see what he's sniffing.
 
I think the one in Gravely is the main one, the Bassingbourn etc are franchises. I think! Alternatively, I could bring Zak to you for a month or so? :D He needs socialising with other dogs. I just feel that I'm failing him and he gets so stressed on the lead.:( He's a very unique animal.

Can I come too??


gone backwards with Teal big time. Was attacked down the beach and we have gone back to a gobby dog at other dogs. Does what Zak does, attacks them (word in first, never makes contact though) and then gets on with them OR hides behind me tail between legs. We are doing socialisation classes (again) end of the month.
