Roscoe

9mth old husky pit mix. Has had exposure to kiddos and dogs. Not sure on cats and needs further one on one potty training. We have had for the last couple months after taking him and sister in but have been struggling with his behavior. Believe he needs someone more 1:1 time & husky knowledge. Currently has skiddish and jealous tendencies but can tell wants to listen and work! He is food motivated and have done some walks but still needs constant redirect.

We found him and another dog on rehome site a couple months ago. After some back and forth we have realized that he needs to be in a solo household, at least to redirect some of the training he never received as a puppy and the two dogs are not as 'sibling' attitude as the previous owners let on two months ago. It will be better for both dogs if they are in separate households as we believe there is littermate syndrome happening.

Has up to date shots, toys, crate and am open to any other questions you may have to validate a good fit.
