Australian Cattle Dog

Clemson SC

Description

I recently got an australian cattle dog named Caesar from a family member. He has been through a lot, but he knows me well so I thought he would be better off with me than a stranger. But I can hardly take him outside. He has leash aggression like crazy. He can't be off the leash because he runs after walkers, joggers, and especially other dogs. I can't walk with him with his harness and leash because he pulls and barks and rolls around trying to get free if he sees anyone. I live in an apartment with not only a lot of people and dogs, but a lot of aggressive dog breeds around. I am so scared having him here and that he will either hurt someone or get himself hurt. He isn't good with other dogs. But he is good with cats, though he can't be trusted to not eat their food! He lets you know when he needs to go potty. And is very well behaved....unless he is outside. He is a good guard dog. He barks when the doorbell wrings or someone knocks. But he doesn't stop until the person comes in and pets him. He is 9 years old next month...so he's pretty set in his ways. I tried working with him and training but he didn't take to it well and the vibrating collar and stopwoofer made him worse. I don't know what to do with him. I don't want him to go to a shelter and never get adopted because people will think he's aggressive. He just needs a home with either a lot of land or a fenced in area so he can run but not scare people! I will be looking to buy a house within the next 2 years, but am not able to yet. I would be happy with a foster situation if possible since I still love him and want him. But if it needs to be a permanent home I would just be happy he can be free and happy! Text or email please
