Muncy arrived as just a baby. a big baby that needed a lot of help since his owners had not provided any training or boundries.
When Muncy first arrived he was reactive on walks to people and dogs and was extremely hard to handle. He came to BRLA and was neutered and then began the process of learning how to behave better. He would rise up and paw at you when attempting to put on a leash. Slowly our team begin helping Muncy open up and learn how to be a dog. It’s a work in progress that will continue once home. Off site field trips proved to be the most productive for Muncy and after months of working with him he finally has more confidence in the world. We are so proud of the hard work from our team and from Muncy!
He is taking the right steps to learn how to behave around calm dogs. . He can still be impulsively reactive to some dogs and some people. Going home as the only pet in an adult only home will give him the ability to focus on learning more from his human. Of course a very balanced mentor dog could also be an option. A home with a yard is going to be best. A home that has a solid routine without a lot of coming and going to avoid reactivity to strangers or new things. Most important is that his humans all need to be leaders and to focus on helping him continue to replace caution with curiosity in life.
Muncy is a project but will be well worth the work.
He has demonstrated a deep love of training. Inside our facility he has mastered so many commands. Of course he has the basics down pat like sit, down and stay. He has moved on to bed...crate.. and more on command. He loves to train and a human that also loves to train is what Muncy needs to become fully balanced. He can still be impulsive but there is so much good work that has made him a better dog for the right human and home.
THE BEST HOME FOR MUNCY SHOULD
