Teddy

Meet Teddy – Brilliantly Trained, Deeply Misunderstood<br/><br/>Teddy is a 2-year-old hound mix who may be one of the most well-trained dogs you’ll ever meet—truly. He knows his commands flawlessly, walks like a professional on leash, and listens better than just about any dog out there. His training foundation is rock solid.<br/><br/>Teddy first came into rescue in 2023 as a young pup searching for someone who truly understood him. He spent the last year in a home he believed was his forever, but unfortunately, consistent training and structure were not maintained, and Teddy found himself back in rescue through no fault of his own.<br/><br/>Teddy does have some quirks that require an experienced, committed adopter. He struggles with resource guarding, particularly with high-value items like sticks (and, honestly, just about anything he decides is valuable). Because of this, Teddy needs a home that understands management is key no access to high-value items, and clear boundaries around privileges like couches and human beds, which must be earned and structured.<br/><br/>With the right person, someone who understands training, structure, and leadership, Teddy will absolutely thrive. He is not a “project,” but he is a dog who needs consistency and understanding to feel secure. In return, you’ll get an incredibly smart, loyal, and capable companion who truly deserves a forever home that won’t give up on him.<br/><br/>His ideal house would be adult only or older kids, no other dogs, or cats. <br/><br/>Teddy isn’t for everyone but for the right person, he could be everything. <br/><br/><br/>To be considered must apply at : buddyandfriendsma.org
