Gecko
About This Dog
Gecko's ideal home
Meet handsome boy, Gecko! Gecko is a sweet boy, who's had a bit of an unsettled start. At 10-months old, he is quite a sensitive lad and is looking for a special home. All members of the household will need to be older teenagers of adults, an any dogs in the home would need to be very tolerant and confident to show him the ways. He can be a bit intense with dogs, but he would definitely benefit from having social doggy friends.
Gecko is looking for a family that are prepared to build trust around toys, and practise swaps for valued items. He would love experienced owners that are willing to read his body language and give him space when needed, as he can be conflicted with handling and protective over his resources.
Gecko would need a home where there is someone home for most of the day, so he can settle in slowly and feel safer being left on his own. Gecko is a brilliant boy with tonnes of personality and a drive for adventure! He loves a paddle in a bit of water, an a sniffy wander. He needs plenty of mental and physical stimulation, enjoying opportunities to explore, dig and learn new things to keep his brain busy.
Gecko is a sweet boy, who is very playful and clever. He needs a bit of time to build a real bond with someone, but can get a bit mouthy if over-aroused. He can sometimes be a bit conflicted over handling, and show some appeasement behaviours so adopters will need to be willing to offer him some space when he's asking for it.
Could you be Gecko's perfect match?
Gecko is a super sweet, active and playful chap. He's a little worried of louder noises, so would prefer a quieter home where he can build his confidence at his own pace, but also where he can get all of the exercise and stimulation he needs.
Gecko is fully house-trained and travels well in the car. He can pull a bit on lead when he's excited, but is very receptive to training and high value treats! We think any training will be a breeze.
Gecko will need grooming every 6 weeks or so, and is quite avoidant of it. He will need some support around this, and making it into a positive thing, which we can help with! He's a beautiful boy that needs a family willing to put a bit of work into him, but will be a wonderful companion for a lucky family.
