Description:
Misses is a playful dog who gets very excited when greeting her favorite people. She can be a little nervous at first with new people, but she warms up quickly. She is a jumper, and can be a bit mouthy when she's excited or uncomfortable, but she's quite gentle with it. She loves to play with toys, and loves getting attention!OTHER PETS: Although Misses invited play with another dog, she can come on a bit strong and get overexcited, which could potentially cause a fight with the wrong dog. She would likely do best with a tolerant dog who can match her play style. Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)OWNER EXPERIENCE: Misses would do best with someone who is familiar with dogs and understands their mannerisms. She can be jumpy and mouthy, and while it's not malicious, someone who is inexperienced may be more uncomfortable with these behaviors. Some ExperienceKIDS: Misses can be jumpy and mouthy when she gets excited, and while she is gentle she could certainly knock over a younger kid by accident. She is also uncomfortable with some types of handling, so she would do best with kids who are old enough to understand when to let her have her own space and how to interact with her. 12+ (Must Meet First)ACTIVITY LEVEL: Misses is an active dog that would do well with various forms of both physical and mental enrichment, to ensure that she stays happy and doesn't make her own entertainment. With further positive reinforcement training, she could also be a good candidate for more adventurous activities like hiking or dog sports. Good Walking BuddyVETERINARY CARE: RoutineLEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Misses is still at the beginning of her positive reinforcement training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Misses not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. Moderate GROOMING: Minimal
