My name is Mabel!

Mabel is a 4 year old bernedoodle. She is extremely sweet and gentle. She grew up on a ranch in Spokane and spent all her time with other dogs. However she was not well-socialized with people. When I adopted her I discovered she was very anxious and fearful of people--she has never shown any aggression, she just hides. I live in an apartment and she is also scared of the noises the neighbors make, as well as basically any loud noises or sudden movements. She walks well on a leash but is often nervous when we pass people or cars drive by. She does sometimes have accidents in the house, but I think this is because of separation anxiety, not a lack of house training. Also she sometimes resists going on walks, I think because the outside world is scary to her. She has never shown any prey drive and totally ignores cats, squirrels, etc--except it they are loud sometimes they startle her. I believe she needs to live in a house with another dog, and would benefit from access to a quiet yard.
