Bruno

I am looking to rehome my dog Bruno, due to some behavioral aggression issues around children that have made it difficult for him to be around my neighbors. He was not raised around children and is not accustomed to them. He also needs a fenced-in yard or someone to walk him as he is high-energy and I am no longer able to take care of him with my job. He is very sweet and very smart, he is about a year and a half old now, and full of energy! He is part border collie with jack russell terrier but we are not sure as we adopted him from a shelter. He has grown much bigger than we were originally told (15-20 pounds) and he’s currently at 50 pounds. He is fun-loving, house trained, and leash trained, and can use speaking buttons for food, water, and to go to the bathroom. He can hurdle obstacle courses, knows how to retrieve (and give you) his ball, and is crate trained (provided he gets a slice of cheese, he will immediately go to his crate without hesitation). He knows many tricks, and is very obedient with people that he is around given a bit of stern direction. He is carefree, playful, and a little bit mischievous as he taught himself how to open doors, but he has a great propensity for learning and can still learn new tricks in only a day or two!

Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: He has a bite record, but only one bite. He’s aggressive towards children, but he is very very well trained. He is leash trained, potty trained, and uses a bell at the door to be let in or out. He can be very cuddly and loves attention, especially scratches on the back of his neck where his collar is. He loves other dogs, although he does play rough with them from time to time when he’s too excited. He’s an absolute sweetheart most of the time, and he’s partially crate-trained although he’d prefer to sleep in the room with you because he gets lonely at night.
