Neddy has some behaviour issues to work on.  At this time he would only be suited for an adopter with considerable training experience.

Neddy (aka Teddy) is a handsome Cavoodle with a playful personality that comes out once he feels safe. When he feels comfortable, he loves a game of tug or fetch and will happily bring you a toy to join in the fun. He enjoys chew toys, settles well after play, and is learning the comfort of a predictable daily routine. Neddy enjoys sharing your bed overnight, daytime naps (like a toddler, he needs them) and is becoming more confident each day.

Neddy is still building his confidence with the world around him. He can be reactive to unfamiliar people and dogs while out on walks and is initially wary of new people visiting the home. Like many dogs who have missed important early socialisation, Neddy needs time, patience and positive experiences to feel safe. Once he begins to trust someone, his playful and affectionate personality starts to emerge. His foster carers are working with Neddy using reward-based training, confidence-building and structured socialisation, and he is making encouraging progress. His future family should be prepared to continue this work and allow Neddy to build trust at his own pace.

When trust has developed, you’ll see him bounce around happy and excited with a toy in his mouth, do zoomies from one end of the house to the other and back again multiple times, with a pause only to look at you to see if you’re joining in before he does another loop, and has a love for couch cuddles and naps with his head on your leg. He can self-occupy with his toys and is able to identify when it’s “work” time and you’re not as available for fun, games, and cuddles (carer is a remote worker). He loves being around his people and will follow them room to room if they move, preferring to stick with the least busy person, as the chance of convincing them it’s play time (which is every waking moment!) has higher success.

Neddy would be best suited to a calm, patient home that understands confidence-building takes time. With consistency, kindness and ongoing training, he has every opportunity to continue growing into a wonderful companion. Due to his current behavioural needs, Neddy would be happiest as the only dog in the home and is not suitable for homes with cats or other small animals. If you’re looking for a rewarding young dog and are willing to invest in helping him become the best version of himself, he will repay you with loyalty, playfulness and a personality that’s well worth getting to know.
