Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Are you ready to meet Tessa? Despite her elusive photography skills (or lack thereof), this dynamic girl is bursting with puppy energy and affection. Tessa is a large, Black and Tan mix who embodies all the exuberance of youth. She's a play enthusiast, especially when it comes to splashing around in doggy pools and romping with her canine pals.
~ Now, about those pictures-well, let's just say capturing Tessa's cuteness on camera is a bit like trying to catch a shooting star. You'll have to see her in person to witness her undeniable charm and charisma! ~ Due to her lively nature and typical puppy behaviors (think jumping and mouthing), Tessa would thrive in a home rather than an apartment. She's quite vocal when left alone, expressing her feelings in a canine chorus that's impossible to ignore. To help her refine her manners and basic obedience skills, Tessa will need to attend three in-person puppy/adolescent training sessions-her ticket to becoming a polished, well-behaved companion. ~ Tessa is a total love bug, showering affection on everyone she meets. However, her enthusiastic displays of love might be a bit overwhelming for younger children, so she would be best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can match her playful energy.
If you're ready for a dose of puppy joy and a lifelong adventure with Tessa, reach out to learn more about this delightful, larger-than-life canine companion!
Explanation of Behaviours: - A young dog that is high energy and will need lots of attention, training, exercise, and enrichment daily - She will need to be socialized a lot in a safe and proper way to set her up for success in the future - She will need work on difficult behaviors such as jumping up, especially when excited or taking food / treats - She can be a bit of a puller on leash at first but is working very well on her heeling on leash! - She has shown separation anxiety while in our care. As a result he can be vocal at times
This dog would benefit from: - Active home - Lots of training and socialization - Lots of time and attention - A home with adults or older kids with large dog experience
Training needs/behaviours that need to be worked with for this dog: - Basic Training - Basic manners - Work on difficult behaviors such as jumping up / taking food or treats gently - Separation anxiety - Require 3 in person puppy/Adolescent training sessions to help her be the best pup around!
