Luna

Meet Luna

Requirements

LUNA IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A FIRST TIME DOG OWNER. Luna needs a home with people whom are energetic/active and who are experienced around dogs with some behavioural issues and willing to guide Luna for the future. Dog free home only. No cats. We will consider a home with older dog savvy children aged 13 and above due to some resource guarding and Luna is still very bouncy.

We are happy to place Luna in a home with a behaviourist support with some sessions to help the new owners going forward if required. You must be prepared to all work together, team work is dream work!

Background

Little Luna is looking for persons or person with experience to help with her social skills,and management with resource guarding.

Sadly Luna has found herself in a environment whereby her owner is struggling with their own health battles as well as living with a Son with learning issues who does not understand Luna’s body language. This is having profound effect on all involved in the household, especially Luna.

Luna spends a good portion of time in her crate, during the day and at night.

She has not had regular exercise since July for many reasons including being nervous around traffic and owners health issues as stated previously.

They have come to the hard decision that Luna needs far more than they can give her and want to do the best for everyone involved.

Behaviour

Luna is still only a very young dog, full of life and vigor, just needs some tweaking and guidance to help her in the big wide world.

Will resource various items she should not have, mostly floopy items such as clothes, towels etc. Luna thinks this is a great game but recently has shown her teeth and growled when she had an item that could have been toxic if swallowed. They are managing this more by swapping with cheese and tasty treats but it’s hard with the Son in the home as he does not always see the cue’s. NOTE she does not guard her own toys or her food.

Whilst out on her walks she pulls and barks at some dogs and hates traffic (this would need some gentle TLC to address this in her new home). Luna is an anxious little girl lacking in social skills, she needs more time spent with her giving her attention, more exercise and stimulation, along with rest time. We believe in the right environment with people willing to train her further with time, love and patience she will bloom into a wonderful four legged friend.

Exercise

Mainly in home & garden as owner is no longer physically able to walk her. This is starting to affect her behaviour & is their main reason for considering rehoming as it is just not fair on her.

Luna does not go off her lead when being walked, she is scared of traffic, can bark at other dogs and pulls on her lead. They do not allow her off lead as if she ran off, they could not physically chase her due to ill health.
