Story
Indy is an amazing little girl. She is territorial inside my home with other female dogs. She loves to run outside but can also be very chill inside. She has been aggressive towards our female chocolate lab but not towards the male lab. She knows basic commands…sit, lay, wait, place. She has become increasingly aggressive as our household has grown, maybe due to lack of attention. I have gone through extensive training (professionally and on my own) and she gets better but needs reminders that she is not alpha. Unfortunately due to my work and living situation, I can no longer give that to her. I do not want to rehome her, but I can see that the lack of outside stimulation or being the only dog in the home, she isn’t living her best life. She has attacked other female dogs on very sporadic situations, but never males and never a human. She deserves a good home that can allow her to run consistently through the day and return to snuggle.
