I am looking to rehome our sweet and cuddly 4.5 year old dog as he doesn't do well with small children. We have learned this the hard way after he bit our 11 month old pretty bad. He is easy to train and although we could likely work with him, we don't feel comfortable keeping him as we grow our family. The incident was considered provoked, he does great with older children and doesn't have any other history of biting. We would prefer to rehome privately vs go through the humane society. He's very sweet, affectionate, gentle and silly. He loves getting belly rubs and nuzzling into you to snuggle. He's known to offer silly toothy grins when happy and enjoys praise and affection. He lights up on walks halfway through to boop you with his nose and get pets to say how happy he is. He enjoys walks, going hiking, sniffing around the yard, sunbathing, catching balls and playing fetch in the ocean. His favorite toys are balls and squeaky stuffed animals (the more squeakers, the better!) Like most dogs, he needs regular exercise to stay happy and not fall into boredom but doesn't require anything crazy. We've always done daily walks with him (long or short) and if you do a hike or big excursion it will tire him out for a couple days. He's not destructive (even if he doesn't get exercise) and is pretty laid back. He usually lounges around the house all day or stays in the yard. He has completed 1:1 obedience training and passed with flying colors. We also worked with him on his strong prey drive where he'd want to chase bikers or runners. This is easily kept in check and we had no issues with him after the training. We also did off leash shock collar training. No issues with barking and he's friendly to other people. He is neutered and completely potty trained. He currently lives with our 15 year old beagle and they get along and mostly just ignore each other.
