Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


We bought Wilson from a breeder when he was a puppy. He is now 3.5years old and needs a family who will have time to train him and play with him. We have another older dog in the home and the two have been battling for alpha in the home by way of marking. Wilson does well with urinating outside but if left to freely roam in the home he needs to be monitored for urinating. He gets overly excited when he sees other dogs and barks at them. He has started biting the fence when the neighbor dog comes outside. He has a lot of energy and it is difficult for us to take him for walks with 2 young children. He has not been properly trained which we think he would benefit greatly from. He sleeps with our son in his bed and does well with the kids, but again is overly excited most of the time.

We are hoping to find a home where he will get more attention and walks to be able to enjoy his life to the fullest.
