DIXIE

New Foster Notes; 6/14/24: Dixie is house trained. She can go from 9pm-7am. She goes to her bed when I leave and stays there until I return. She walks good on a leash. She plays in the house and outside in the back yard. She knows her boundaries. I stay outside with her. She knows what I want her to do. I say go to bed and she goes. Sit down, and let's eat and many more but not heel, sit up, we are working on give paw. She would do great in any type of homes after she feels comfortable around the person. She is very protective of me, so whoever gains her trust will be protected. She: -Is cuddly and affectionate -Walks well on leash (No or low amount of pulling) -Has met and did well with other dogs -Chases cats/small animals -Does well with small children -Enjoys car rides -Is potty trained -Treat Motivated New foster notes, 2/21/24: Dixie is almost finished with her heartworm treatment and is doing well but isn't allowed to get excited or play too much for another couple of weeks. She's sweet but doesn't want anyone but me to take her to potty. She loves my great grandkids who are 2 years to 10 years old. She barks when anyone comes to the house but will stop after about 2 minutes when she starts feeling comfortable. She looks out the storm door at other dogs walking by and will bark. She is house trained and will stand in front of you and just look until you ask her if she wants to go potty. I'm trying to train her to get her leash. She knows different words like sit, come here, get your donut(toy), let's go, let's eat, and many more. She has never shown any hostile behavior, but she does have a very stubborn streak. If she wants to check out something, you can not divert her attention to listen to you. She does great left alone in the house and does not need to be crated. She listens well and loves my great grand children. She will tolerate other dogs but always on guard when they are around her. I don't know about cats but she tries to chase squirrels and deer.
