i rescued a puppy boxer cross about 8 months ago and for a while everything was fine, i was not workingat the time and so had loads of time while the kids where at school to take him to the park ect. i have now gotten a full time job and so his walks are now only twice a day during wich he cant get off the lead to run. he has started to become aggressive towards my other dogs as well he seems to have hit teenage and thinks he should be top dog. he has never been aggressive towards a person and that includes 4 kids in my house but he has caused more than 1 dog fight in my sitting room, with 4 kids i cant have a full grown german shepheard and a boxer cross fighting in the sitting room. and for this reason i need to rehome the boxer cross.
he is a loving dog and cant get enought attention and cuddles i need him to find a good home where he can be safe and well looked after. he also needs some outdoor space to run about in as he has lots of energy, this is something else i cant offer him as i live in a flat. i really would love to find him a good home asap as i dont ever want to be in the position where one of my kids gets hurt by him.
if anyone can help me please let me know

Dogs can be such hard work. I hope you do manage to make time for the youngest. Training and teamwork could be the way to go. Training can help enormously for building trust and teamwork, and does not necessarily mean lots of racing about. Although it can seem lovely to see dogs running around off lead a lot, there are lots of dogs who don't race about for themselves. Most working dogs, or any dog with a high level of training, for example. I hope you can muster lots of help and support in real life so the dog becomes a joy and less of a burden.
