Behavioral issues

My story

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


Rocco is a 4 year old Rottweiler who we adopted from a breeder on a farm. Rocco loves pup cups, apple slices, cuddles, and chew toys! He is house broken, kennel trained, up-to-date on vaccines, and good with children. We have another dog who he gets along with, but he becomes reactive in public when he comes across other dogs. Rocco is a very anxious dog that requires an experienced owner. We have decided to seek out another home for him due to his behavioral concerns - specifically aggression. We have worked with a trainer since he was young that specializes in resource guarding/food aggression and have made good progress in understanding that his aggression stems from anxiety. We have worked closely with his veterinarian as well, who recommended anxiety medication that he takes daily. Rocco is a sweet, loving, loyal dog who would benefit from an owner with less stimulus than our household is able to offer. We will supply him with the resources he needs to adjust to a new loving home.
