She also enjoys running and playing with dogs approximately her size or larger. She can sit for treats and takes them gently! She is eager to learn for treats. Shiva can get over-excited when she wants attention and, without proper training, she will use her paws and mouth to try to get it. Some things that her foster home has been working with Shiva on are: Not putting her teeth on humans for attention and play; Not jumping up on people; Not reacting to other dogs while on walks. Shiva has made good progress and needs a home that will be committed to continuing her training.
