Hugo

Hugo is a nervous dog who is looking for a family with experience to handle him slowly and gently. He has experienced very rough handling and is sensitive to it. Hugo can be quite unpredictable with strangers and can lunge and snap. He is also very nervous of sudden movements, hats, sunglasses etc. He is nervous of motorbikes and he has prey drive but can be distracted with treats. He is a lovely happy dog when you move slowly and speak softly. He can lunge at cars, but able to be distracted.  He also lunges aggressively at passing dogs.  He walks at a good pace and likes to jog.  He enjoys cuddles, belly rubs and jumps up to lick your face.  He sits on command.   He needs someone willing to meet him a number of times to build a relationship with him and build that trust. He needs a confident handler who keeps a good grip on his harness when he is out in public. He has a short coat and weighs 29.7kg.
