Rehome bernese mountain dog

Natick MA

Description

Rehoming fee will apply but he'll come with all the stuff we have for him. Crate bowls food collar leash etc  Heres some back story on the situation.  My mother is disabled and fighting cancer. we got Owen last August to train as a service dog for her. Hes a 1 year old male bernese mountain dog. Service grant funds fell through. he has had no formal training and its not a strength of mine. He is crate trained though. He is amazingly gentle with my two young kids. in February he got loose from my yard and approached a neighbor walking their dog. The neighbor assaulted Owen, threaned us with a weapon. Owen was sweet and never bit or got aggressive but the encounter left him very fearful and defensive. Now to do bathroom business he is pulling on leash barking, standing up if he sees someone passing by or another dog. He's never bitten or been aggressive. We're fearful to walk our neighborhood with him since the attack but do let him run in our fenced back yard. Police were notified and the issue is being handled. My mom cant currently physically handle Owen. She needed him for mobility help. Hes an amazing dog if he had training and i feel bad because we love him but we know hes not currently living his best life. We just want whats best for Owen.   Never been around cats may do well with dog but not sure. Will need training. Up to date on shots.
