Gunner - Rottweiler Dog for Adoption

Gunner is a big, active, and playful Rottweiler who is described as a big teddy bear. He enjoys treats, toys, eating, and playing, and he is comfortable being handled by his family for bathing and brushing. Gunner knows some basic cues, including "place," "crate," "down," and "stay," but he currently lacks basic manners and would benefit greatly from continued training and structure. He can pull mildly to moderately on leash and would benefit from an owner who is comfortable working with a strong, energetic breed.

Gunner also resource guards food items, so his adopter will need to understand and manage this behavior responsibly. Food or other guarded items should never be taken directly from him. He will need an experienced owner who can provide consistent training, clear boundaries, appropriate management, and positive reinforcement. Gunner has the potential to be a wonderful companion for someone who is willing to invest the time and effort into helping him learn good manners and build trust.
