Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Chewbacca, a sweet two year old mini Bernedoodle. He has a very kind nature, does wonderful with other dogs, has been e-collar trained, and is great on a leash. So why does this adorable guy need a home? Chewie deals with anxiety and gets overstimulated in a chaotic environment. With our house full of kids and noise, it has been a struggle with his anxious nature. Our vet has placed him on an anxiety medication, and while this has helped, it is still very clear that he would thrive in a calmer environment. He does great with other dogs, and the vet even suggested another dog companion as a way to combat some of his anxiousness. He anxiousness manifests in pacing, shaking, panting, and he does have a nervous bark initially with new people. When he is not overstimulated by all the craziness of a house full of kids (he is great with kids, it's just the noise and commotion), he is finally able to relax, and this is what we want for him. Local/close applicants only, no flying.
