Odin was born May 2022. He is microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. He has been in his home since a pup and is sadly being rehomed as he is a very ‘needy’ dog that needs continual reassurance and stimulation, and is reactive to other dogs, meaning his owners are struggling to walk him. They feel he struggles because of the residential environment they live in and he needs a quieter and calmer pace of life to chill out and enjoy life at a steadier pace.

Unknown with children so older children only and would say no to cats. This lad needs an experienced and calm home where there is minimal dog traffic because with people he can be a sweet heart:

“Odin met me at the door in a lovely friendly manner, he immediately went a got a toy and came and sat in front of me. He took chicken as treats, he was very gentle. He also sat and laid down on my request. We stood in the kitchen chatting and going through the questions. Odin did not stop the entire visit. He paced, he brought toys etc to me and his owners. Wanting constant fuss and attention. He is crate trained and his favourite treat is a frozen carrot. He will take himself to his crate and patiently wait for his carrot. Odin does not have a sensitive stomach and is not fussy with his food. Currently on dry kibble. He had a lovely pleasing nature, maybe slightly anxious and did and does not settle on his own outside of his crate.

He had had a lot of training and it is clear upon meeting him he is a clever lad (demo of training). He has been enrolled in dog training since he was a young pup. The most recent being with The German shepherd dog club of Devon. Owners have had a couple of times where Odin has been cheeky and taken something, he has on this occasion, growled and lip curled towards them, however they were able to distract / trade for the item. He is not food aggressive and does not guard his food or toys.

Unfortunately, he has had a couple of very unfortunate encounters with other peoples dog. Odin can no longer be let off lead. Other dogs have become a fixation. He has had some bad encounters which has escalated his behaviour quite severely. Odin has previously encountered (at the local field) Two out of control aggressive, Dobermans, resulting in him biting one of them, as they had no recall. This happened with another dog on a separate occasion. Odin on lead, off leash dog, no recall would not leave Odin. Unfortunately, in trying to manage Odin and the other persons dog, owner was bitten on the leg by Odin, as he was trying to defend himself.

Odin does and has since he was young visited and stayed at a local kennel. They have never given any negative feedback.  The kennel staff all enjoy it when he visits. Odin has not been around children, so it is unknown how he would react to them. The same goes for cats. His reactivity/aggression is to all dogs and he currently has no dog friends.

Odin, is a very clever, kind natured boy who would enjoy an active home. His dad previously ran with Odin.”
