My story

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

My 4yr old dog Leo is a tricolor toy Australian shepherd. Hes a good boy but requires a lot of patience, attention and stimulation.

I got Leo a week before Covid lockdown began. I was unable to socialize him much and by the time we could go back to parks, he didnt care for other dogs. Over time, he has became reactive towards other dogs. Hes bitten me on two seperate occasions while I attempted pulling him away from an interaction with another dog that was passing by us on our walk. I have tried training him myself but Im not a professional and due to my schedule Im unable to be consistent enough with it. I also dont have the means to pay for training. He is crate trained and house trained. He also knows a few commands and is neutered. His favorite thing in the whole world is treats and playing fetch.

Ive been going back and forth with this for a year now trying to figure out how to make it work but I feel defeated. He deserves a better life than I can give him.
