Please Do Read All The Following Information Fully,Before Submitting An Application

Location Derby Post Code Area DE21 ,we will request you are prepared to travel ,to carry out as many meet and greets ,as requested

Introducing Jake a young Bernedoodle age 15 months

This is Jake’s second home ,due to no fault of his own

First home we believe the other dog in the home was a resource guarder ,so they rehomed Jake ,as it was not fair on Jake living with another dog with issues

His current owners are rehoming Jake ,due to changes in accommodation

Jake lives with another dog a dear little French Bulldog ,they get along wonderfully ,a bit of rough and tumble takes place but non aggressive play

This gentle giant is anxious fella,can take time to warm to male humans,but once he gains their trust he will become friends

We advise slow introductions ,without any pressure on Jake,let him come to you and let him progress at his own pace

Jake is also nervous at the groomers tries to jump out the bath,will take two persons to groom him.

It would be best to speak with an experience groomer ,before taking him into their salon

Many groomers understand some dogs can be nervous ,so they will help make the experience better for the dogs,just work together with your groomer

A good example to find a highly qualified groomer is the Groomers Spotlight

The vets also he can be nervous,he will go into the vets,but the owners sits on the floor with him,chatting and comforting him in the waiting area.

Once inside he will allow the vet to examine him

We would suggest finding an understanding vets practice and take Jake into the waiting area,many times before even seeing a vet,this is to build up his confidence.

Jake is still a young dog,still exploring the world he is now part of ,he may bounce around and jump up,get giddy and over excited.

Jake does not understand personal space ,he is your big friendly giant

He dislikes being on his own ,once he gets to know you ,will never be alone whilst Jake is in your life

Please understand Jake is a large dog,will need space and a good sized garden

Always good to progress with more training going forward,be great for bonding and great for the future of any dog

Doodle Aid’s Requirements

Jake will need a home with fit and active people ,whom are willing to put in time,love and patience for his future care

No full time workers ,as Jake’s dislikes being on his own

His current owners do take him to work some days ,in a safe and quiet environment

Can live with ONE other calm natured dog ,must be spayed or neutered and we will ask for proof from yourself ,with a vet letter please

You must be prepared to travel for as many meet and greets as we request ,as we do not want to rehome Jake again

It has to be about the dogs,this is why we work this way

We will only accept dog savvy children aged 12 and over

If babies or small children visit ,there must be total supervision as Jake may accidentally knock them over

Not cat tested ,so sorry this means no cats

You home must be big enough for Jake ,and your garden a good size for a large dog

All fences must be at least 6 foot tall,gates must have a secure lock

If you have any toxic plants do make sure these are removed

SOCKS must be put away at all times,Jake is a huge sock thief ,and has had to have surgery in the past as he digested a sock

Absolutely no showboating Jake for at least the first week,allow him to settle in his own environment,with the people that live in his new home.

This means no visitors and no taking him to visitors

Slow and steady with him to start with please

Grooming

Jake does shed minimally,so before applying please do take this onto consideration as we do not want to rehome him,if you have dog related allergies

His coat is pretty similar to a Bernese Mountain dog,double coated with a slight wave

He will allow his owners to brush him through,but you must have some tasty treats to hand

With attending a professional groomers he can be nervous ,please work together with your groomer ,in gaining confidence for Jake’s well-being please

Exercise

Jake usually has one to two walks per day,or he is quite happy to have a rest day in the week

His new owners will need to work on recall ,so please do not take Jake off his lead until you have complete trust in his recall

Jake can get easily distracted out on his walks by other dogs ,still young and still learning

Jake will pull on his lead if he has not been walked for a day,or if he see’s another dog ( we suggest some loose lead training going forward)

Interaction with other dogs:- Jake can get excited by some dogs,also he may get anxious,but he will always be friendly but might does not understand personal space

General obedience :- He knows sit, wait and down. Very good at waiting

Jake has never been aggressive or bitten,he rather shy away from strangers ,he does not know to start with,until he gets to know them

We will declare Jake does suffer from separation anxiety,he just loves to be around his people

He can be left for a few hours per day ,say if you need to attend to appointments,or go shopping

If left for longer periods he has been known to chew a door frame ,so please do work on his separation issues
