Ted is a 9 yr old neutered male Patterdale terrier.
He is an absolute diamond dog IN THE HOME!
He is loving, fully house trained and affectionate ... the perfect companion and house guest
BUT he is noisily reactive out and about.
We know he has lived with a dog previously and we know that after careful intro he settles but walking him in busy and active 'dog populated' areas is challenging... he has been assessed and in a home but we have moved him to an emergency foster.
He does not cope in kennels and we are looking for a home - maybe person or couple who have a larger garden and ideally live in a rural location where there are not too many dogs about.
He is an active lad and loves his exercise
I KNOW this is a big ask BUT he really is delightful if a bit of a pain to walk and with some continuity and further training this will improve somewhat....
This boy really could be the LOVELIEST companion for the right person/family - we know his needs are specific but we also know that these are the very dogs who will return all the time, love & patience you give them TENFOLD - so please do consider this boy if you can
He deserves to find his happy-ever-after too
Here's another little pupdate on this boy from his fosterers:
Ted is such a loveable boy, who is clean indoors, goes through the night and is well trained at home.
He loves nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa or if he's lucky enough, joining you for cuddles in bed!
Whilst out walking, he is good on the lead if there are no other animals around.
He is very bark reactive when he sees another dog, cat, squirrel etc. even from a distance.
We are starting to work with a trainer to help improve his reactivity but this will take a lot of time, practice and patience but we feel it is possible!
Ted loves his food, which is very helpful when it comes to training.
Ted really deserves to find his forever home with someone who has the time and motivation to continue the training as he enjoys his walks and will make the perfect companion in the home.
