Description
Ozlo ‘Ozzie’ is our 9 month old GSDx Rottweiler.
He is our family and we love him beyond words. He is our little shadow and will literally follow our every movement. He is a soppy big dog. His favourite thing is playing with his ball! He love love loves a ball. If you say to him Ozzie go get it and point at his ball, he will go get it. Sometimes he isn’t the best at dropping it for you so, you have to say drop it and wait while he does so as, if you try to grab it immediately from his mouth, he will think it’s a game and play tug of war lol. He loves to play with his soft toys too however, they will be destroyed in a matter of minutes because, he will pull them apart to get to the squeaker. He will play with the squeaker for hours! Throwing it in the air and catching it. Squeaking it, play fetch with it etc. he’s quirky like that lmao. He is also obsessed with food and will eat ANYTHING.
He knows a number of commands. He can sit, lie down, paw, spin, heel, stay, centre. He can walk nicely on the lead however, as he’s entering his teenage phase he is being a bit cheeky and testing boundaries with pulling slightly. But you can tell him to heel and he will walk nicely again. He has excellent recall and much prefers to walk off lead and sniff, he sniffs everything. He is not reactive and will often just ignore other dogs, it helps to put him into a centre as dogs walk past, as other owners see how big he is and it gives them peace of mind. And, he is still learning not everyone wants to play. He has manners so will sit and wait for his food until you give him a release word which is “free”. It is the same release word for his stay. He is crate trained and in the 7 months we have had him, he has never once had an accident in his crate. He sleeps in there and stays in there while we are gone, he doesn’t cry in there at all and will put himself there. If you say crate or bed he knows to go in. It is his safe place and helps prevent social anxiety, especially in dogs of his breed.
Now I’m not going to pretend he is perfect. He is still just a puppy! He is still learning! He is still mouthy and is at the puppy stage where he ‘chews’ hands when overexcited/playful or over tired. It is more he is just mouthy and grabs you, it doesn’t break skin. He can do it when he has zoomies where he sprints, jumps and puts his mouth on your arm/hand. He has come a long way since he was very little. This is all very normal with his two breeds and often slows down at 1yr old. He does still jump at people when they come in which we have been working on. He has some evidence of resource guarding with food/ stolen items which we have also been working on and which has improved massively. It’s not very bad. If you walk past him with food, he won’t bat an eyelid, if you put your foot right next to food or looked at it etc he won’t care. You can be in the same room with no worries but if you do put your hand right near/ in his bowl he will growl.
Now unfortunately the reason that’s prompted us to need to rehome him is that, he has an extremely high prey drive which we have tried near about everything for, but sometimes it cannot be trained out of them. He is terrorising our 3 cats. They are safe, he doesn’t have access to upstairs. But, they are avoiding rooms and hissing at him and visibly very uncomfortable living with him. He chases them everywhere and will occasionally grab them, not actually bite them ever. More rough plays and they are obviously more delicate than himself.
He will not go to just anyone. He needs constant stimulation, with puzzle feeders, games, training and walks. He goes for 2 x40 minute walks a day. Does obedience training everyday. He has a lick mat/ sniff games etc everyday. He also requires enforced naps in his crate every day as he doesn’t have an off switch. When he is overtired, that is when he becomes cheeky/ naughty. He will go with everything, including his food, bowls, blankets, toys, lead, harness, collar etc. He is healthy, he has been flea treated, de wormed, vaccinated and microchipped. He would be due boosters at around April time. He is not yet neutered as the vet has recommended waiting until he is 18 months old. Overall, he should go to a home where he is the only dog, there are no cats and preferably a home with no young children. He needs someone willing to put in the time and effort to him, as we have been doing!
