My Foster Writes:
My foster mom says I am such a good girl and super sweet. I love to cuddle on the couch while she does her work during the day. I will play with my toys after walks before my next nap (I love naps). I'm doing so well being in a home and learning a new routine. I'm an excellent passenger on car rides and I do very well in my crate when I'm home alone. I am housebroken.
Commands I know: Sit, down, stay, off, wait (threshold navigation such as doors and elevators); I'm working on "paw" and "drop it". I'm also learning a "place" instruction using a special blanket as my place.
Likes: peanut butter, string cheese, treats, bananas, getting brushed, belly rubs, toys, toys that dispense treats, affection & cuddles, a consistent routine, being told I'm a good girl, lounging on couches and sleeping in a comfy bed!
Dislikes: vegetables, loud unexpected noises (I am learning that they aren't so scary, they lead to me getting a comforting treat!)
I need some time to warm up to new people. I've learned to politely ignore other dogs with the use of tasty treats and timely direction from my human when we go for walks. I walk well on a loose leash and only pull a bit when I find a really good smell I want to check out. I don't chase squirrels or birds on my walks. I love getting to sniff around the neighborhood.
