Beautiful month old male beagle in Kidderminster
Hello, We rescued Scout around 5 months ago as he was at a home where he'd been locked in a cage for 10 months of his 12 month life, he'd only ever been on a lead to be tied to the back door handle, not only that they were going to have him put to sleep at the end of the week of he didn't have a new home. We just could leave him there. We were told he was house trained but soon had a shock when we took him home. We heard about him on a Saturday and had him on the Sunday as we just couldn't leave him where he was. He has had attended quite a few puppy training classes as we had to start from scratch with him as he knew nothing. He is now house trained, knows sit, stay and down. He still needs lots of time put into him. He will never be able to be let off the lead as he doesn't come back. He's been in the house with a 4 year old but Scout can get a bit jealous and nips, it probably doesn't help that my 4 year old is quite boisterous and pulls on him. It isn't an aggressive nip but I'm worried this could turn into a bite very soon which would be a shame for my son as he'd then be petrified of dogs and a shame for Scout as he is a very loving dog and just doesn't deserve to be out to sleep. He is brilliant with all other animals. He just needs to go to a home without young children, maybe with another dog but definitely to someone who loves exercise as he's been doing some Cani cross training and is a very very energetic dog! He had nearly a 2 hour walk most nights, shorter walks in-between and plays lots in the garden. As stated above one of the reasons for needing to rehome is the nipping and another is due to a change of circumstances in family life.
