DANIELLE's Story

Danielle is a gorgeous, timid girl who will need lots of patience as she learns she is safe. Positive reinforcement and happy experiences will help her develop confidence as she blossoms. While nervous, she is curious, and is starting to show her playful side. OTHER PETS: Danielle is still young and bouncy, she went for a walk with a smaller, relaxed pup, and in no time she was walking happily with her new friend. She would likely do well with a playful dog who communicates well, and the ability to roll with her exuberent play style. [ (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. While Danielle has shown some nervousness, including sudden movements and noises, that can greatly improve with patience, relationship-building playtime, and the opportunity to fully decompress. Once she realized she was safe she solicited interaction and began showing her sweet personality. GROOMING: [Minimal] KIDS: Danielle is young and very bouncy and could easily knock young children over. She would likely do best with older, respectful kids who know how to give her space. Danielle has shown very sublte signs of resource-guarding while at TJO (she sped up eating when approached), but if she learns she doesn't have to lose valuable items with 'trading up,' she will gain confidence. For safety, dogs should be separated during mealtime so no worries develop. She should meet everyone she would be living with prior to adoption. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Danielle was nervous initially, but with fun and encouragement she began to feel more comfortable playing with toys. With ample opportunity to decompress and feel safe, nervous dogs like Danielle often reveal, slowly, interests that are not seen in the shelter setting. She has been comfortable with most handling but will lower her body and sometimes go belly up (not a request for attention) when worried. She loosened up and did several play bows with a dog friend, but she may be a bit much for dogs who aren't interested in the antics of a youngster. A combination of regular physical activity combined with plenty of mental enrichment and games will fully meet her needs. [Active] VETERINARY CARE:. [Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Danielle bond with her new owner and build self-confidence in her new home while learning new skills and fun tricks. Positive reinforcement is a great way to keep her mind engaged and active to fully meet her needs. [Minimal]
