Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Dottie is a super sweet young dog that is eager to meet anyone and everyone! She loves people, but can get a little caught up in her own excitement, so she can be jumpy. She has gotten along great with other dogs while here at TJO, and considering how much she seems to love wading through the water, she might even be a seal disguised as a dog! OTHER PETS: Dottie got along well with other dogs, and even took the time to play in a small pool during her time in a play group! She loves to play, and would likely get along best with a dog that can match her energy. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] KIDS: Dottie can be jumpy and has a high level of energy, but she was tolerant for handling, so she could likely be a good fit as a family dog. However, interactions between children and dogs should always be closely monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Dottie seems to have energy for days! And while her energy level may decrease as she grows and matures, she would do best with various forms of physical and mental enrichment to keep her mind and body happy. With further positive reinforcement training, she could also be a good candidate for dog sports (with vet approval) or other adventures like hiking.[Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Dottie 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. She currently still needs help working on loose-leash skills and how to keep all four of her paws on the ground. Positive reinforcement training will also help her bond with her new owner, gain confidence, and learn important cues and skills. [Moderate] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]
