PLEASE HELP FOR THE SAKE OF THIS GORGEOUS BOY
Flynn is based in Ayr in Scotland a family adopted a very short time ago.
After a few days they were not happy with the dog ,even though we as a charity ,were transparent about everything as was his previous owners.
A few days later they want to keep the dog,next message the dog has to go.
This has been continually going back and forth with us even though we are doing our upmost to find a foster home.
Now we have just been informed ,one of the families members is NOT a doggy person,despite them having a dog previously.
This was not reflected when we vetted the family.
We have had several applications with multiple dogs,child who are too young,or people going on holiday imminently.
This just would not suit Flynn and his needs.
He is a large lolloping goofball going through adolescence which will pass as this is normal puppy behaviour.
He just need guidance ,support and love.
He pulls on his lead ,will just jump to pull and teeth his lead.
Simple answer use a chain link lead until he learns,this is not the done thing.
The new owners were aware of this,and he has accidentally caught the owner,whilst on his walk.
Also in the home he has not been manage well around food ,this has resulted
in him pinching food and worrying their Son,whilst eating and getting food.
All this is not the puppies fault,they were informed he was a foodie.
He is just a confused poor puppy that has not known what or where to go,it’s a sad situation.
He just need an urgent foster who will support,love ,train and give him the stability that he is missing.
Doodle Aid will do everything to support the fosters,we just need to get him moved ASAP .
EMERGENCY FOSTER REQUIRED
PLEASE READ FULLY THANK YOU ,YOU NEED TO MEET THE REQUIRED
His new owners are now returning him as all his quirks have appeared.
Poor dog needs to find a stable home ,with people willing to understand and work with this young dogs training.
Please do not apply if you think rescue dogs are a quick fix,please do not apply if you work from home and do not expect a dog to bark.
Dogs bark for a reason it’s because they are wanting something or alerted by something,or just trying to work out why they are in a strange place with strange people.
As stated in a previous post we humans talk and other humans understand us,sadly dogs cannot talk.So you have to work out why a dog is barking ,by figuring out why it’s barking,it’s like a missing piece in a jigsaw puzzle.
This boy is food mad counter surfs and carrying plates around near him,eating near him only encourages his behaviour.Best to teach him how to manage the food issues,and for humans to be more understanding and help him with these issues.Dogs love food it’s only natural they will grab things if left around,so we as humans need to be on top of situation before they happen.
Easily resolved just don’t leave things out,and pop things well away from him.
Eat in another room,or at a high table asking him to sit and be positive about his training.
Counter tops cleared and keep food away from him,no bins left around,until the training is starting to become clear to him,work with him and he will get there but it’s not an instant fix with any dog ,time and patience is the key.
It’s not only about his training we as humans need to retrain ourselves with dogs,sadly dogs are not robots.
Rescue dogs are in rescue for a reason ,they need more support.
He has also got hold of a sock in this last week,be good if socks are perhaps put away in draws or washing baskets.
He is a puller on a lead ,needs loose lead training,it’s not an art it’s practice with nice treat.
No showboating any dog that’s been recently adopted or in foster.
They need security and love by his new people firstly,before any of this occurs.
It’s so sad he has to be moved again through not fault of his own ,he must be very confused and let down by everyone including Doodle Aid.
We have been so transparent not sure what else we could have done.
He is now based in Scotland and will need his new fosters to collect him.
We do give a fuel allowance and 24/7 support as much as we can.
All food,vet bills,groomers,trainers will be paid by Doodle Aid and we will discuss fostering further with the potential fosters.
Please please be certain you can help,and do not go in blind the information is here on this post,we do not want to let this boy down again
Another move will not improve his quirks it will set him back.
He needs a place to settle,not be left,he needs the attention and training to help him grow and flourish.
Please read carefully before applying to foster Flynn
Location Now Ayr inScotland
Fosters who will have time to understand Flynn’s needs,not expect a dog not to bark,dogs bark for a reason.
If your a homeworker be prepared to put in time,for walking,training and for any noise he may make.
He needs a solid home with love and the attention he is crying out for,this dog needs so support and is desperate to just be guided correctly.
Prefer him to be an only dog,but will consider one calmer older dog
Can live with children aged 13 and over ( please note children need to be respectful around Flynn at all times ,as they should be with any dogs)be wary with food around him.
Flynn cannot live with cats
We require a secure garden not communal

Exercise

He does “NOT GO OFF HIS LEAD “(please note Doodle Aid does not recommend letting any rescue dog off lead,until you have 100% trust with each other)Flynn would benefit with some loose lead training along with practice on his recall.
He does pull on his lead but he is getting better ,more training maybe beneficial.
Whilst on his lead he sometimes tends to rag the lead.
Flynn has attended the Dogs Trust puppy training classes ,and passed with flying colours.
Flynn is interested in other dogs whilst out,but does get excited meeting and greeting.

Remember Flynn is still a young dog,and still tends to jump up at times.
His general obedience is good and enjoys learning ,very trainable.
Flynn is toilet trained ,but with any new dog entering a strange environment they may have an accident until settled.
He sleeps in the utility room at night
Not crate trained
He will chew his beds and blankets
Can be left for short periods of time 2/3 hours max per day.No dogs should be left for long periods of time as they are social creatures who thrive on company,especially the doodle type of dogs.
Travels reasonably well in the car,we do ask whilst travelling a dog is secured safely in a harness,crate or behind a dog guard.
Not known if Flynn can swim
Likes to play fetch but does not like dropping his ball ,also likes his yak bars and antler chews
Flynn would fit in an active home ,where his new fosters have time to give him exercise,training,more time spent with him,doodles just love to be loved and enjoy human company.
All potential applicants will be subjected to a full vetting and a homecheck.
We would also require some form of identification at the time of the home check.
If you live in rented accommodation ,we will expect written proof that a dog can live within the property
