Tinsel is Belgium Malinois born on New Year. We adopted her from Grass Valley animal shelter and are the only family she has ever known. We did basic training with Alpha Lauren at Pawsitive & are doing advanced training with certified behaviorist LeeRon Liftik. Tinsel is extremely smart and intelligent, fast learner, energetic, loves being outdoors. Currently we feed her on the Kong protocol. Her solid commands are sit, down, come, off. "Stay" we are working on.
Her best friends name is Suki, a 7 month old German Shepard. Our kids are 6 & 12, and aside from her jumping up on them she is perfect with them. When we are active outdoors she is always looking out for the family, working to keep us together.
The challenges she is dealing with are an intolerance to wheels (bicycle, scooter, hoverboard) & that she does not love the gentle nose lead.
She is supposed to be my forever dog, however we are moving to a home that does not allow fences, which we feel is not ideal for her.
