Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Full transparency, Walter is a high needs dog with a bite history. He has bitten both owners, our child (1year old) and one guest.

Walter is a 4 year old labradoodle purchased from a breeder as a puppy. He is sweet (most of the time), loves walks, chasing after a ball, seek and find games, and seek and destroy games.

His high needs:
-highly anxious. Loud noises, new people, etc.
-resource guarding
-reactive
-sensitive to grooming (both professional and owner)
-barks for attention
-jumps when greeting
-needs regimen/ schedule and lots of exercise for best behavior

He knows all basic commands: sit, stay, down, roll, shake, come

He loves kongs, destroying cardboard boxes, squeaky toys, walks and car rides.

We are very sad to rehome him but cannot give him the attention he needs and do not want to live in fear he will bite our young child again. Most of his behavior is predictable if you are able to read his body language.
