Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I am Grateful Ginger, a 2-year-old border collie that is mixed with spaniel. It is so great I am a mix because I have an “off button” and I’m not intensely driven to work. I learn very fast, so please be smarter than I am and provide me with consistent and fair leadership. I need a dog savvy person who will help me blossom into an awesome dog. I crate well, but the first time I will beg to just be let out. Just be patient and don’t give into my sincere adorable request to be with you.
My house manners are excellent and when I am doing my business in the yard, I will find one favorite place. You don’t have to go searching throughout the yard
I am learning to walk on leash and if you give me consistent, clear, and fair direction, I will pick it up quickly. Two things that I am getting help with are:
1.) Being around other dogs. The great news is that I am making wonderful strides and learning to play with them. I am reactive when I am on a leash when I see other dogs. I exhibit some of the traits of a DINOS (Dog In Need of Space, http://dogsinneedofspace.com/ ).
2.) Learning that I can communicate with you with out using my mouth on your hands. I didn’t learn this as a puppy.
Grooming is something I really like. Please brush me often so I don’t get matted and my beautiful fur will all grow back. I’d appreciate having my teeth brushed too. I like food, as I am a bit of a chow hound, so I should have what is called a slow down bowl.
So far, I haven’t shown any desire towards chasing a ball. I do like to carry my stuffed toy around and won’t tear it up. I have so much happy energy and just love to run around the yard and exclaim how awesome it is to smell all the plants and chase out the squirrels. I do not like cats, so please don't adopt me if you have cats.
I think that it would be ideal to have a home that will invest the time in me and give me the exercise, love and attention I need. I am going to need positive reinforcement with one on one training so that I am not distracted by other dogs. It is important to make me mind my commands as I can sometimes be stubborn and do not want to follow through with the command. Although I like children, I think I would prefer a quieter environment. I would really appreciate getting good obedience training with someone who is experienced working with smart dogs.
