Gunner has been with us since he was 8 weeks old. Trained by Peacemaker K9, with on going training monthly since he “graduated”… he’s perfectly behaved in public. He’s VERY vocal… the dog that won’t stop barking… he’s energetic and loves to play. He barks at strangers and raises his hair but once introduced will beg to be played with.
Rehoming because he’s started peeing in the house in one spot when he gets mad at us. He’s crazy smart… and we’ve hired people to help and tried e-collar, he needs someone with the skills to work him out of this, that I can’t.
