CT Tyson (Home in Columbia CT)

Why Tyson is being rehomed? Tyson has gotten very big and his owner has had some health issues that limit her strength which prevents her from giving him all that he needs to thrive. She has been working with a trainer because she wanted to do all she could to make it work but despite her efforts she realizes that he is just too much dog for her and he needs a home that can give him all that he needs. This is what the trainer has to say about Tyson: <br/>Tyson is a total sweetie, but he needs a calm, confident, and experienced handler who truly understands strong, independent breeds. Because of his size and excitement levels, he'd do best in an adult-only home without small children.<br/>He is high-energy, deeply social, and loves meeting new people and dogs. To keep him happy, he needs plenty of mental stimulation and play that fits his style-think heavy-duty tug toys, long hikes, and lots of safe things to chew.<br/>We're working through a few adolescent boundaries with him:<br/> Leash & Outdoor Manners: Outside, he can get a bit pushy with his handlers and try to test limits or ignore direction.<br/> Possessiveness: He occasionally steals items, retreats under a table, and shows a bit of tense body posture if he wants his way. It's very much a testing-the-waters "puppyish" behavior, but it needs consistent management.<br/> Noise Sensitivity: Loud sounds or neighborhood dogs barking can make him reactive or nervous, though he redirects easily when he's in a calm, controlled environment.<br/>Tyson will thrive with someone who understands crate and playpen training to give him a safe space to decompress. If you can offer him structure, firm leadership, and plenty of activity, he's going to make a wonderful, loyal companion.<br/>Tyson will be an owner to owner transfer, please email to set up a meet and greet. <br/><br/>******* Tyson is house trained and crate trained He hasn't had any accidents since he was 4 month old and he will let you know if he needs to go out side by a whine or going to the door.
