LUTHER - ESSEX

Lovely Luther is a 4 year old neutered boy who needs a forever hime.

His current owners took him in about 2 months ago but are struggling to take care of him. Luther is not too keen on being left alone for any period of time and sadly the owners work. 

The volunteer arrived at the same time as the postman but no barking was heard.... As soon as she entered Luther started tail spinning as he gets very anxious around new people. He did the same with current owners but that has now stopped as he feels comfortable with them.

Luther did live with other dogs when he was younger but apparently now does not like other dogs. He reacts on site and will bark back if a dog barks at him. The volunteer is not sure that this is true, on a walk the owner tightens the lead as he knows Luther will react. 2 dogs were seen one coming up behind and one on the opposite side of the road. The volunteer asked for Luther to be called away and be praised and rewarded for turning from the supposed threat..We believe that this can definitely be worked on.

Luther is very relaxed out of the home. He is treat and toy motivated but does need work on the duration of the commands asked of him. 

He lves to play and is very affectionate and has been gentle around children of all ages.

Luther is a lovely lad who yes does have some issues. It is felt that with more exercise and mental stimulation his issues would resolve.

He would benefit from someone who will be around the majority of the time and prepared for a little work, but who want to spend time with him.

Luther deserves a chance to be the beautiful lad that he is, a gentle loving sweet natured boy who just needs his person to bring out the best in him. He really does have so much potential.
