He's a smart dog who will benefit from continued training and routine, especially as he adjusts to a new environment. Giving him clear expectations and positive outlets will help him feel more confident and settled. While Bodhi is very sweet, he can become anxious in loud, busy, or chaotic environments.

Because of this sensitivity as well as his size and strength he would do best in an adult-only home with adopters who understand how to read and respect his signals. Bodhi also has some resource guarding behaviors, which means he can be protective of high value items like food. He will need a patient, experienced owner who is comfortable managing this and committed to using positive reinforcement techniques to help him continue to build trust and good habits. With the right guidance and consistency, Bodhi has the ability to make great progress. At his core, Bodhi is a loving, loyal dog who just needs the right environment to shine. In a home with structure, understanding, and plenty of outlets for his energy, he will blossom into a deeply devoted companion.
