On Jackson. I thought I should write-in as after last night (he nipped my bum when I turned & walked away from him trying to hump me) and actually request the report on him.
Happy to hear advice on all of the below. The only thing he hasn't done for us is misbehave when we leave him - he hasn't torn up the house at all nor destroyed shoes etc. But then we ensure we always leave him with a Kong. Will highlight in red the things he still does - will highlight in orange things he's getting better at and green for things never done.
Hi Jess,
Wow, that is a lot of information to take in. Below I have copied information from Jackson second stay with us. Because we spend time with the dogs on a daily basis, we didn’t carry out every test that we would usually, but we played with toys, handled him all over, ran around and got him hyped up, and tested him around dogs. Unfortunately Jackson arrived with us as a stray the first time round so we have no prior information on him apart from his stays with us.
He came back to us as has displayed over-stimulated behaviour at previous home.
Has shown jealously over male owner while female owner was around , jumping up at female, scratching her and grabbing clothes..He has shown other behaviours as stealing owners food from plates, jumping at the surfaces. A lot of the behaviours in previous home sounds like attention seeking/puppy behaviour, so owners must know how to handle this correctly so it doesn't escalate. will need ground rules from day one, consistent training and stimulation he needs in his young age to keep him occupied. He has shown the start of some basic manners but is at quite a mouthy puppy stage still. He knows a sit and can be encouraged easily onto to toys if he starts using his mouth/teeth on people but will resort back to that if no toys around. History says grand kids have never met due to his behaviour. Can jump and rag on clothes. When mouthing in previous home, he has done so quite hard and left marks. Has also been quite nippy at peoples ankles etc. He trashed the house. He knocked plants over in the hall and he manged to break out of the baby gate. They were gone about an hour. He clawed the door and broke phone and chewed it. He has started to dig up the floor - Young puppy who will need all training and independence taught from scratch. Not shown to be vocal or anything in kennel when on his own but will need to build this up to start with and encourage interest in toys etc. to amuse himself with. Really into his food so food toys and puzzles would be great. Also ensuring not allowed to follow everywhere/full access of the house initially so again can learn to settle on his own. May benefit from crate training early so he has his own space to take himself too. Will need all puppy basics! Food manners in particular, has shown great interest in the bowl so would advise really mixing up feeding methods and keeping his brain working. Will need to be taught an exchange around toys and also impulse control as sometimes quite mouthy and with teeth.
Fine to pick him up and he really enjoyed the attention especially scratching him on his neck makes him go all soft.
Fine for formal check can get a bit mouthy if you take too long.
-touch and treat
-calm hands on .
-Keep sessions short and relaxed.
-Give him a toy to hold to prevent him getting mouthy.
friendly with everyone but can get mouthy when excited
-teach him a good sit and wait.
-make sure he always have the choice to move away.
Would benefit from having a small group of doggy friends that can help him with his mouthy behaviour. He enjoys playing with other dogs and doesnt seem too phased even when being knocked about by a boisterous large dog.
-Keep well socialised with playful types
-100% recall before letting off lead
-Call away if he is too much for another dog
Into his food and does eats quickly but also happy to work for food.
Fine to take food off him and will swap.
-Feed in slow feeder and use food toys.
-Use daily food for training.
-Lots of possessive association around food, by dropping extra when passing.
-Teach him a good sit and wait.
History says he likes toys and plays with and tug of war. No aggression. He jumps up at you to get the toy. He loves rope toys. No possession over toys.
Onsite no real interest in the balls, liked the squeaky for a bit but then lots interest, likes the soft toys and the ragger and will play by himself. Into tug game and will only let go when you have food or another toy.
-Owners to introduce toys
-Owners to teach him a good leave and drop.
-Give him lots of toys especially if he gets mouthy.
