Homing Requirements: Benson needs a supportive family who understands his sensitive disposition and supports his confident exposure. Ideally large dog experience with positive reinforcement (rather than protective or shielding behaviour). Benson needs companionship and could live another dog. Fine with Dog savvy older children. Not for cats or small furries.
His Story: Benson was returned to his breeder who couldn't take him back, so we took him in. His fosterer with 2 staffies, 5 young children then adopted him. This environment proved too busy for him, he was stressed, their new accommodation wouldn't allow 3 dogs. Benson is 2 year, neutered, chipped and vax'd.
Advert: Benson had a highly social life with 5 very young children and 2 other dogs but his instincts were 'shyness'. He was scared of brooms, vacuum cleaner, loud noises and fast movements. He benefits greatly from reassurance and needs a programme of gradual exposure, which he missed as a pup. Benson is now in a quieter household within foster with routine and respecting his sensitive nature. Benson loves people now and adores his canine companions. A training programme without too much 'analysis' would support his emergence into adulthood. Benson is proven with children as a live-in situation but we are looking for older children; his home has to be about meeting his needs.
