Meet Lizzy! Lizzy has come a long way in her foster home since coming to us. She is completely housebroken and crate trained. Her foster family have been working on more structured training over the past couple months and she has perfected the basics, and then some: sit, down, stay, drop it, leave it, wait, come here. She will do many of those with word commands, or with hand signals and no words. She has recently started learning to ring a bell on the door when she wants to go outside and she is doing it most of the time.
Lizzy has learned the routine and when she sees her foster mom getting ready to leave, she goes and waits in her crate. She loves all the toys, but especially her tennis balls. She has learned to bring the ball to you, drop it and then step back and lay down while she waits for you to throw it - all without us having to say a word. And she will keep playing until you make her stop. She loves going on walks and is getting much better with not pulling on the leash. She gets very excited for car rides and does very well in the car. When it’s time to go to bed, she can’t wait to snuggle and has recently realized she’d prefer to be under the covers. She loves to be wherever we are, but she does fine at home (in her crate) during the day too.
The one thing we have learned about Lizzy is that she needs to be the only pet in the home, and would do best with kids over 12.
