Looking to rehome male 9 Year mini with Reactivity (Noise) Bedfordshire 19th Jan 25

Hi all, thank you for reading. We're looking to rehome our 9 year old neutured boy (currently lives with our 10 year old female MS) due to his reactivity which comes out as a lot of noise and barking. He has never shown physical agression to other dogs or people, including our son (who he loves and has been a dream with how well he has welcomed our son into the home).

Since the arrival of our son 3 years ago we are finding our lives and his experiences restricted as we we cannot take the dog with us or find someone we can trust to look after him (or afford it!).

He is a super loving dog who wants to be on your lap whnever he is allowed. Super intelligent and wants to pllease his owners through obedience and doing tricks of his own accord whenever he thinks he may then get a treat or fuss.

He is able to be friends with the right dog but has only ever been left with his doggy sister, though i'm sure if worked on, any speration anxiety could be overcome.

A queiter life with a warm lap and lots of cuddles would be his perfect home.

I have tried through training and behaviourists to alter and reduce his reactivity but as one behaviourist pointed out it may be the bond between myself and him that in someway feeds the anxiety/being scared and therefore the reactivity.

We're loctaed in Bedfordshire if that helps.

Thanks again for reading.
