STORM - AMERICAN BULLDOG (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Bulldog (short coat). Storm is the most beautiful dog EVER, but she is also just as sweet. Imagine if she still had her floppy ears? they would be so droopy and squishy just like her chops. She thinks she is a lap dog and LOVES to snuggle. She is extremely food motivated which has made training her extremely enjoyable. She is up for almost any adventure and would love to spend every minute with you if she could. But she is also content to chill in her crate while the world goes on around her. Dog friendly? Storm has been exposed to other dogs and a cat. She is reactive to dogs that are not neutral and due to her size and lack of socialization she should not be in a home with ANY small animal, including cats. She will play with another neutral dog and has made huge strides in her socialization since first coming into our care Cat friendly? ❌ no cats or small animals Kid friendly? ❌ No and not recommended due to her size and continuing training required. People / stranger friendly? She is fine with women, but strange men she will do an alert bark. She has been working on this and treats are the way to her heart so she warms up quickly. Storm was EXTREMELY under-socialized during her 1st (and most critical) year. Coupled with some bad experiences, these things have lead to a wave of emotions from her when she meets new dogs and people. She has come a long way, but she needs slow introductions with new dogs and people. She is also learning how to play properly with other dogs and this needs to continue to be a part of her training journey as she has made huge strides in matching another dogs play language and energy, but can become over aroused so its essential her human be there monitoring to ensure she never goes over threshold and her interactions continue to be positive. House trained ✅ Crate trained ✅ Basic obedience training ✅ Amazing recall ✅ Storm is currently working with a professional trainer as well as her foster on her continued reactive dog training and she will be attending training classes as well. Leash manners? They are good but could be better. She is continually being worked with on her leash manners. Car rides? ✅ Amazing in the car. She loves it. She does well in new places and is not anxious. She LOVES to do all types of training as she is VERY food motivated. She loves to play fetch and will bring it back to you. She loves stuffies and destuffing them as well. Food or toy aggression? She is fed in her crate and while humans can take things from her, she will react poorly if another dog or animal comes near her food or high value item (all of which she gets in her crate). Energy level? Low/medium *Storm recently had surgery to remove a blockage. She should not be left unattended to play with soft toys / stuffies Storm is being fostered in Orillia, ON
