Maisey is a sweet girl, she just needs someone that is dog savvy, can work with her quirks, and doesn't let her rule the roost:
PAWSITIVES:
-
Loves to cuddle on the couch with her humans and her 4 legged pack.
-
Very tolerant of energetic dogs.
-
Knows the SIT and STAY command.
-
Good house manners and crate trained.
-
Knows the space heater is her best friend for the cold days.
-
Has the most soothing snore.
-
Loves her humans and gets so excited when they return home from work.
-
Loves to have her head and ears scratched – very therapeutic for her human!
-
Tug-o-war is one of her favorite games.
-
I won’t be running up and down the stairs and making a lot of noise. Stairs aren’t my favorite, so I need some encouragement to do them.
-
Has good obedience and recall when outside with humans
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES:
-
Needs to know the human is alpha and not her (she can be a princess, but not the Queen)
-
Most toys don’t stand a chance with her. She will need safe toys that she can’t chew up and ingest.
-
Nips at arms and feet in her excitement to go outside.
-
Needs to learn that humans don’t want to share their food
-
Needs to be crated away from other dogs for meal time
-
Needs help being introduced to new people in her home. She is a resource guarder of her home. Crating is your safest option when visitors come over. Foster mama has found success with crating for an hour, have visitors ignore her, then allowing her to come to visitors when she is ready. I do have a history of biting visitors to my home.
-
Might bark at noises on TV or other sounds (even ones the humans don’t hear).unning up and down the stairs and making a lot of noise. Stairs aren’t my favorite, so I need some encouragement to do them.
