Hey guys, I can't find it. I have a dog that needs rehomed , he is amazing. First hand experience, this is personal. My mom passed a year ago and shit has gone sideways in our family. He is a very good boy, but he is a unit and my dad can't handle him anymore. I cannot take him but I also do not want him put down. He is trying to find his space and needs someone with some balls. This is a very expensive and trained dog that has a strong will, great with kids (my kids have been all over him). He needs someone that is going to not be afraid when he bucks up, it's all show and I've done it, he just doesn't know his place yet.

OP, it's fine to keep the thread here.
Some good questions in this thread....like give us a description of what he does. What is "when he bucks up?" It sounds like he has a very strong will, and that's showing itself in behavior issues. Can you help us understand what a typical interaction with him looks like? He's a beautiful dog, but is going to take a very specific home so he is in the right place, with someone who can handle him. That means we need a lot of detail around the issues he has. ~ Kitties |

Good dog, but he is a 110 lb Doberman, so he scares people. He spent the weekend with a guy and his dog , it went find then he pushed on the guy, it's a dominance thing. He doesn't scare me but he tried it and we were fine. Either way, unless someone contacts me directly here I am going another route based on the responses. |

Any behavioral issues beyond high strung? Anything beyond typical Doberman stuff? How is he with other dogs? I have a Doberman so I’m experienced in handling them.

I would have asked the same ones. I might have not used the word "cryptic" but as you noted, some of the terms you used could be interpreted in a lot of ways. This is a big, dominant dog. We have to know exactly what he does, and that means a lot of questions. It's a tough time when you lose a family member, and this dog is tied up in all that loss, and it likely sounds harsher to you than it was meant. I understand if you don't want to deal with us here. If we can help, though, we will. I would say to you, be careful. A lot of people see a beautiful dog, and take on more than they can handle. I think it needs to be a home with a strong male, maybe with other big dogs so you know the person is experienced. The alternative would be somebody like me, who isn't afraid to roll a big dog. That said, this is not a quick easy placement if it's done right, and I know you want the right place for him. Just let me know. ~Kitties |

I’ve dealt with a similar dobie
He needed exercise to exhaustion twice a day and firm , friendly treatment I settled his ass down in about a month and rehomed him with a family with two active boys. That dog took those boys thru high school. I’d take him in a heartbeat if he was here in Texas. My wife would straighten him out ; she loves Dobermans and has trained several to be fantastic dogs. |

I am in the thick of it and typing very quickly. He is not dangerous (to me), but he doesn't know his place, maybe he has never had a place based on the past year. To me (opinions vary) he isn't scary, dangerous, or unpredictable. He's just a dog that needs the right home. No matter where he goes, he is gonna push but he is a good dude. I assume, once in the right place he will fall right in, he isn't a psycho dog that needs six pillows and all that. If that makes sense. |

Can you hold the dog, or is he safe until we can choose the right home so we don't have to jump too soon? There are some folks here who appear to have the right situation, but we would need a day or three to talk and do the preliminary work, then to transport him if the right home happens. |

I have been IMing with Kaizer27, the OP.
Kaizer27 is correct. Radar has dominance issues. He's also been in a somewhat chaotic environment for a year, and this is not the sort of dog to be in limbo. He needs an assigned job or he will assign himself one, and that job will be "Boss of everybody." This is what I believe Kaiser27 meant when he said Radar "needs to learn/find his place". It's a good description for a dog who's been in a spot without a strong leader (Kaiser27's dad is older and the family has been through a lot since Kaiser27's mom died--not anyone's fault, but difficult when you're a strong-minded dog trying to figure out where you fit) Radar needs a STRONG LEADER who will be consistent with orders and training, and who will hold the dog to high expectations. This dog can meet those, but you can't wussypuff around. If YOU WUSSYPUFF AROUND, THIS DOG WILL WALK ALL OVER YOU, because that's who he is built to be. If you take this dog, it will be your job to be his pack leader, and to show him that everybody in your human family is above him in the pack. You will have to teach him appropriate behaviors when people come to your home, when he's outside in the yard, when he's walking on a lead (this dog weighs 100 lbs. He needs to walk without pulling on the lead.) He needs to be taught that he is not to chase and kill other animals. He needs to be taught to be a good citizen and member of the family. This is going to take some TIME and some DEDICATION and Radar deserves both of those, and tons and tons of love and affection. But I cannot overemphasize that this dog needs a strong leader. Someone who will back him down when he decides to try you. Once he knows his place in the home/pack, and has an assigned job, this is going to be a FABULOUS dog. But I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This is not a leisurely stroll in the park. At first, this is basic training. And you'll have the best dog you've ever had. |
