He needs someone with big dog experience. who Biggie is is willing to work with him and will not be away from home for more than 7-8 hours.<br/><br/>Biggie was obviously ignored in his past life, he is a “leaner.” He leans into whoever he is with. He is overly affectionate, and is a major hugger. He is about 5 feet tall when standing on his back legs. He will nip if he is eating a yummy treat, but has no problem with you taking non-edibles out of his mouth. He is definitely in need of basic obedience training. Biggie is energetic when you enter the<br/>house, but will settle down. He is really looking for love and affection. It is<br/>only his size that is holding him back.<br/><br/>Issues: He does have some resource guarding so someone who will work with him on this. Needs to be trained on his manners, jumping, hugging, heavy pawing for attention. Doesn’t like to be left alone in the yard, but when left alone during the day, Has not been crated, but probably should be. He sleeps next to<br/>his foster on the floor at night. Very much still untrained puppy behavior.<br/><br/>We believe that Biggie was left to his own devices and not trained. So his owners dumped him because he was untrained. Dogs need structure, guidance, training then love. This is how dogs learn. People dump their dogs in shelters when they have no manners meanwhile it's the human who is supposed to train them.<br/><br/>in his last home and is a loving sweet dog who loves people. Due<br/>to his size, he is in need of basic obedience training and an adoptor who is<br/>not timid and has dog experience.
