Located in: Central Connecticut From the kind person helping find Gus a new home: Gus is an approximately 1-1/2 year old neutered male pit bull cross; he weighs about 50 pounds and is up-to-date on vaccinations. He is joyful, sweet-natured, loving and exuberant. (In fact, my nickname for him is Gusto!) Gus loves people and other medium and large dogs. I do not know how he is with small dogs, cats or other small animals. He is in a family with a 2-year old girl right now and he is great with her, except that he knocks her over sometimes; he just doesn?t realize how powerful he is. His family loves him but knows they cannot give him the attention and training that he deserves, so they want to find him a new home. Gus is crate-trained and housetrained. He knows the ?sit? command and can walk politely on leash with a ?head collar.? He is a very affectionate boy and would love to be a lap dog (if I?d let him). Gus has not had a lot of consistent training in the nearly one year he has been with his family. I recently had him at my house twice for a few days each time. I taught him how to walk politely on leash and how to sit for things he wanted. He is very happy to learn and do what you want as long as you are patient with him and very clear with your feedback. He learned very quickly not to jump on my husband and me, but rather to sit instead if he wanted something. He learned to sit at doors, gates, for food, petting and when I stopped while we were leash-walking. Gus is very touch-sensitive so if you pet him too long or too ?excitedly? he gets over-excited and tends to jump. (I would just take my hands away when he started to get too excited and he knew to sit back down for more.) Gus loves to chase streams of water from a hose. He figured out by himself that when I turned off the water, if he sat, I?d turn it back on! Smart boy. I have seen no food aggression or guarding with Gus ? I am able to take his bowl from him, take food out and put more in. I have offered him several bones and toys and he is interested, but perfectly happy to let me take a them from him. Please share this information and help me help Gus find a new home. I recommend a home with people who will be committed to patiently teaching Gus "proper etiquette," and who have a fenced yard and no small children or small pets.
