Jenny recently got a chance to go into a foster home, and she’s been so happy there. She’s done so well in their home, and we’re getting a much better picture of how Jenny does in a home. And, the news is good! Her foster mom writes, “She is incredibly sweet and continues to be perfect in the house: non-destructive, quiet, doesnt beg and no accidents. Her dog bed is clearly her trusty security blanket, though she is spending more time with us in different parts of the house. She loves to explore the yard and lay in the sun. She didnt eat much for the first few days, but we think that is wearing off. While she clearly knows how to sit, she doesnt quite understand the command, so were practicing that daily.” Jenny’s challenge is that she is reactive on walks, to both other dogs and, sometimes, people, her foster says. We suspect she operates from the premise that the best defense is a good offense, meaning she will bark and make a fuss if she sees other dogs out walking or when she’s in her yard to back others away. Her fosters think Jenny’s reactivity is driven by insecurity, not aggression, and that Jenny could really benefit from a big confidence boost and some practice on leash walking. Her foster writes, “Were curious to see more of her personality as she feels more comfortable. Right now, shed do great in a quiet house with a fenced yard (wooden fence is good since it limits what she can see). An ideal adopter would be willing to work with a professional trainer on walking.” We recommend Jenny for an adult home with no other dogs.
