Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Iris is such a sweet and fun Australian Shepherd but due to a small house and the fact that she doesn't do well with our other dogs, she will have a better life in a different home.
She is the smartest Aussie I have ever had - and I've had 4 of them! She loves to work, learn tricks, and hike. She is highly food motivated, highly motivated to please.
She'll have her energy bursts, but once she gets her daily walk or play in, she wants nothing more than to snuggle up to you.

She will be going to a professional trainer in May to help her with her stress levels - she is scared of strangers and is reactive.
She does have some resource guarding - more so with dogs, but I would advise a house without young children.
The trainers are going to help with the transition from our home to yours - we will be covering the expense of the "Transition Training". Even better, if you want to take her in May, you can take over with her Board and Train and the trainers will walk you through everything.
