Adyson has gone from being a frightened and confused dog to one that is enjoying being a dog !
She was so shut down when we took her on and we were seriously worried about her. It appeared as though she might never have lived in a house but that she did think humans weren’t going to be good for her. Even now, if she hears raised voices her amazingly beautiful ears go flat to her head and she looks for somewhere to retreat to.
She is still very young but is a quick learner and super smart, she loves to run and may well benefit from some agility or nose work, even if just for bonding and a fun time.
Addy is crate trained and does really well running into it at bedtime, she sits for a treat, we close the door and don’t hear a peep from her until morning.
Adyson has lovely manners, sits in front of her bowl at mealtimes until told she can eat, takes treats really gently, doesn’t pull on leash when out and behaves well in the car, she does like to ride ‘up front’ with Andy if it’s just the two of them going on an outing.
Adyson has an enquiring mind, wanting to see what’s going on outside the house, we have floor to ceiling windows and she enjoys our neighbours coming and going. She used to bark but has stopped doing that now, it wasn’t constant aggressive barking, more like a , ‘hey’ over here bark.
We did have a few issues with her, lunging at people and dogs walking past but have realised that it’s more for attention rather than to cause problems or bite. Since Addy had some training with Cori’s K9 and we now use the sidekick leash she walks beautifully .
This sweet girl does have her moments and isn’t the ‘perfect’ dog, she will go crazy in the mornings and if one of us is in bed after her bathroom break and breakfast, she is capable of jumping onto the bed from the doorway and trying to dig you out or washes your face neck and ears until you are so wet you have to get out of bed. She loves to play ball, with a human or by herself. She is never far away from a person when in the home, doesn’t beg or bother you when you’re eating, has amazing recall from the yard into the home or when at a rented off leash ( she loves going to these).
Adyson has the making of being a truly amazing dog !
* She has seen children, walked past children, taken treats very nicely from children but hasn’t been around children, so I would recommend moving very slowly introducing her to them as you should with all dogs !
