This is Mozzy, after spending 5 weeks in training!

Mozzy was incredibly fearful of everything when he came here.  He was also incredibly mouthy and was not afraid to bite when he was nervous about something.  He got very mouthy when you attempted to touch him, leash him, etc.  He was difficult to handle due to this, but you could tell it was 100% fear based and he did not want to become aggressive.  He just wanted to hide in his kennel 24/7.  The previous foster home stated he just hid in the bathroom all day to avoid everything he could.  That Mozzy would get mouthy and bitey with them when they were trying to handle him.  


Fast forward through his 5 weeks of training, Mozzy has gained so much confidence!  He is a very sweet and sensitive boy.  He loves nothing more than to cuddle up to his people and just wants to be your lap dog!  He now goes out in public to many different stores with great confidence and greets all men, women and children well as long as they approach him nice and slowly.  He lets anyone pet him but sometimes takes a little warning up before you see him wanting to lean into the person and soak up all of the love he can!

Mozzy has not been mouthy at all over the past couple of weeks, if he gets nervous he controls himself and is able to warm up to scenarios quickly without trying to get defensive or run away anymore.  He will simply sit and wait patiently.  Mozzy does well with dogs overall, he does not like a dog who is always on his face, but overall does fantastic in group playtime and enjoys picking out his few friends for the day to play with.  


If Mozzy goes to a home with another confident dog in the house it will really help keep his confidence level up!  He would also be fine as an only dog.  Mozzy is honestly my favorite Saving Shepherds of MN dog sent to me, he is the sweetest boy and always wants to do what’s right!!  He does fantastic for all grooming and has never shown any resource guarding behaviors.  He does well with all the mini horses and goats we have here and he always wants to give the sweet kisses when we pass by them on walks.

I would suggest no kids under the age of 10 years old in the house because of his history.  But has has shown to do well meeting kids while here gaining his confidence.  He loves to go outside and run and play along his walks but he also loves to cuddle up on the couch!
