Additional DetailsThe update below comes directly from this dog’s foster home. We share these notes on our website so adopters can get an accurate, realtime picture before requesting a meet & greet. Please read everything carefully before contacting us. Doing so helps cut down on unnecessary emails and allows us to respond faster to adopters who truly need assistance. A reminder: behavior can shift dramatically between environments, and every dog needs a decompression period in a new home. For some, that’s a few days; for others, it may take several weeks or even months. If no update is currently listed, please check back soon. We’re actively working with the foster to gather the most recent information.Briefly describe the dog's overall personality and temperament:Cha cha is absolutely beautiful. She is extremely willing to please and extremely smart. She is goes into her crate willingly. She loves to be pet and will do absolutely anything to get into my lap! She is very very high energy! She needs a lot of enrichment and she would do well in a home where atleast one person is working from home. She loves attention. Commands she knows: 1. Sit - she will do this immediately if she knows I have a treat. 2. Out - She is extremely good about this. 3. No - She is extremely good at this 4. Yes - She knows to wait for her food when I place it in her crate. She will maintain eye contact with some body vibration till I say yes for her to have her food. 5. Place - she is amazing at this. 6. Heel - with the help of the prong she has been great at walking right beside me. But she is a little reactive (in the sense that she wants to explore) to other dogs we see on our walk. I don’t allow any interaction with other dogs apart from Spice. I’ve learnt my lesson about this. 7. Crate : She knows to go into her crate right after our walks but I need to point at the crate for her to know that I want her go in there. Current progress: We’re currently working on her whining inside the crate when she is alone. What does a typical day currently look like for the dog?
