*UPDATE 30 Jan 26*
Volt was evaluated and transferred to another training organizations. Volt is a remarkable young dog and is going to be an amazing service dog to a very lucky Veteran. 🐾
12-month-old Yellow Male Labrador Retriever for adoption.
½ field lines / ½ show lines
Volt has been in training to become a service dog since he was 8 weeks old. He’s been an excellent student and was on track to be a future service dog; until yesterday. While getting his nails trimmed (dremeled), he was being ‘mouthy’; when the handler attempted to address the situation, Volt bit him. It was a puncture on one side and cut on other side of the index finger, no stitches required. However, due to liability & insurance reasons, the organization has to release Volt from the training program.
Volt has been a solid dog with an off switch. He is biddable, food motivated and interested in working for his handler.
He has learned a large number of commands and is able to focus on his handler in distracting environments.
He can be relied upon to work for less experienced handlers and is not overly opportunistic.
At a very young age, he did have some resource guarding and the behavior was corrected. A couple weeks ago, he showed some indicators of resource guarding returning towards his food bowl.
Volt is housebroken and has reasonable house manners for a dog his age.
Volt would do best in a home that is knowledgeable on dog behaviors and provides structure with clear expectations. No young kids, other pets okay!
We would love Volt to go to someone that has a need and would benefit from a service dog. Either continue his training, or be willing to use a professional trainer, as we feel he would make a great service dog. Volt would also do well with hunt, scent, agility, etc. He really is an all-around good boy! 🐾
Volt is intact, up-to-date on vaccines, and has no known health issues.
