About Kol

Adoption Fee: 150.00
German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Thank you for taking the time to read through this. Our dog Kol is fun-loving. He loves to tug, and play fetch. He knows how to drop his bone, but is stubborn. He has also knows, sit, down, to go to his bed/spot, shake, load up, and leave it. He loves dog cookies, and is treat motivated. He is a big hugger, and cuddler. When we got him he was 5 months old and hadn't been handled, due to the breeder having a health issue. He latched on to attention very quickly. We tried to work on socialization right away, but had to stop when the pandemic happened. He's the best 95 percent of the time, but he is very reactive of anyone calling out across the home to me, or trying to touch me. We've worked with a trainer on everyone's confidence with leash walking, and calmly putting him in his spot when he's behaving badly or even just vocalizing his jealousy, but he's still trying to lunge at our son, and we know that our son is fearful and Kol senses it. We can't get our son to get over his fear of Kol, and Kol clearly doesn't trust our son. It just hasn't gotten better. I hate this more than anything, but don't know what else to do after exhausting every way to train us and him. I don't believe he would have these issues in a single owner home. We believe he could make the best friend, and guardian for a single female.
