Charlie has had a very chaotic and insecure past. Fleeing and avoiding scary situations has not always brought him the desired results in his life so far. When initial threats and growling didn't get him any further, the first biting incident occurred in a confining situation. It was only in the animal shelter that he was able to build up trust in himself and his two-legged friends, which helps him to keep a cool head in many situations.

Diligent training, time, patience and confrontation with many different environmental influences have turned Charlie into a completely new dog. The shadows of his past have increasingly faded and his insecure self only rarely comes to the fore.

The little Romanian has now become a completely plausible everyday companion dog, provided he is given the appropriate instructions. Because Charlie now knows his worth and is willing to voice his opinion (even without being asked). If he is allowed too much freedom on the leash, he will bark at strange dogs or passers-by. If someone nevertheless ventures too close to him, this could be commented on with the use of his 42 "arguments". Unannounced visitors have also experienced this bad mood in the past, which is why such situations still require a lot of management. However, if Charlie has understood where his place is and that he will not be disturbed by strangers there, he can accept these spatial requirements and withdraw.

From the very beginning, Charlie spent his time in the animal shelter with other dogs. At first the focus was on luring the shy guy out of his shell a little with the more relaxed members of his species. In the meantime, however, he has also become a solid, socially competent cornerstone for many dog groups for us. Sometimes in large, mixed groups, sometimes in a shared apartment with two people, the Romanian has shown himself to be a reliable match. Together, the animal shelter's daily life can be made much more colorful and he can be encouraged to fool around, but he can also find peace on his own and communicate when things get too wild for him. It is therefore quite conceivable that he could be placed with an existing first dog.
