Peter is a 4 ½ year old male dog who is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. He was adopted by his family when he was just 10 weeks old and is believed to be a poodle pointer. He has lots of energy and loves to play.
Peter is a fun loving guy who loves to:
Play fetch
Sit in his pool
Swim in any kinds of water
Go on walks/hikes with his family
Chase the hose outside
Being outdoors
Chase birds, rabbits and squirrels (He has yet to catch one, but continues to try)
He is very social with company that comes over to visit
Loves sitting at his front door with it open watching the traffic/people go by
Loves sleeping in his crate at night
Can leave him home all day and will not chew objects in home
He loves having jobs and working
Peter is considered special needs due to his high anxiety. Due to his family having a toddler, his family has made the difficult decision that Peter needs a home with less noise and more space. He is a very skittish dog who needs to be with someone who understands his high needs.
Peter worked with a trainer for a year - is great with the commands:
Sit
Come
Down
Place
Stay
Leave it
No
Quirks:
Food aggression (He loves finding his food in the house and is given space when he
eats and does great)
Resource Guarding
Tight Spaces (He becomes uncomfortable and can become reactive if felt
threatened)
Sleep startled (He has a space in his home where he knows he can go sleep and not
be bothered)

Peter needs a special home equipped to work with him on easing his anxieties. His adopter will receive a training package with his current trainer to allow for a smooth transition. His family is willing to help with any transition as well. He would benefit from a family who has land for him to roam.
Due to his high anxiety, he would do best in a home with adults only and no other dogs. (Although he does well with other dogs especially females)
