Rehoming large male dog

Mesa AZ

Description

I have a male dog needing to be rehomed, there will be a rehoming fee. He is not fixed. He is about 1 ½ years old. He's a Dogo Argentino/ Doberman mix and weighs about 90 pounds. He has been around other dogs (female Mini Aussies, Female Rottweiler, and a Male lab that he'd grown up with). He’s been introduced to a couple of other male dogs but they didn't get along too well. He loves to run and play. A few of his favorite games are fetch, whether it be with a ball or a stick and Tug-of-War. I haven't taken him running but definitely seems like he'd be more than happy to join you for that activity. He is kennel trained and has all his shots He is very energetic and smart, sometimes too smart for his own good and that gets him into a bit of trouble. He is an eager learner which helps when training but he definitely needs more training on not jumping on people (he's been doing pretty good with that but likes to “forget” that he's not supposed to jump when he meets new people). He knows how to Sit, Down, Stay, and how to walk on a leash, but he will definitely need more work on those as well. He knows how to swim but gets anxious when he sees other people and dogs in the pool, so I wouldn't recommend swimming with him until he learns how to behave around others in the pool. He is good with kids but is big and active so I wouldn't recommend him to a family with small children since he tends to knock the little kids over, unless you are able to train him to be more well mannered around them. Personally, I feel like he'd do best in a home with someone who will be able to either train him or take him somewhere for training, and also stay consistent with the behaviors for training. He'd love a home with a yard, but he would do good in a home without if you're able to take him out for a few hours a day to run and play to get that energy out. If you have other dogs I’d recommend having them meet first to see how they do together, but he would definitely love to have another dog he can run around and play with! He is a happy and a good boy but will need some work. If you are interested and have any questions or concerns let me know and I’ll be happy to answer them.
