Hi we are looking to rehome our 5 year old chocolate lab gunner. He is a big teddy bear and just wants to play fetch and cuddle. He was raised around 4 children and has never shown any aggression towards anyone. He was once attacked by two loose dogs in our neighborhood and it now takes him a little bit of time to get comfortable with new dogs. We have tried helping the issue by bringing him to dog parks so that he would be around other dogs and he does fine, doesn’t get aggressive but you can tell he is apprehensive to start.
