🐾Prefers to potty outdoors, only accident inside was in the first 24 hours at fosters home.
🐾Great with small children, dogs of all sizes and large livestock.
🐾Cat and chicken curious- likely would do good with proper introductions. She’s easy to correct to leave it but they seem to be a new thing to her. Foster feels this will become normal with time to her.
🐾Behaves so well at bath-time, just stands there for ya.
🐾Crates quietly with minimal whimpers when in the same bedroom as her people- tho she’d prefer to sleep with you.
🐾Likes to carry around stuffies and is past the destructive puppy phase.
🐾Needs some help with learning not to take human food but already she’s been night and day better with this.
🐾Walks beautifully on a leash and has a good recall.
🐾Overall a quiet gal unless someone knocks at the door.
🐾Does best on a seafood protein.
🐾Still learning that food is not a scarce resource anymore. Piper has lunged to chase off other dogs from a food source but never people. However she’s being corrected and is learning quickly that is not the way we want her to behave.
🐾Knows Sit and Down.
🐾Car rides are all new to her but she’s very easygoing and has done well maybe even getting excited soon for them.
Overall she’s a quick learner who’s eager to please and very adaptable to home life!
