Madison 703-344-6139Tippy is a huge sweetheart and deserves the BEST new family. Sheâs intelligent, friendly, goofy, cuddly, super trainable, and loves the outdoors. Her entire history is known as Iâve known her since she was a puppy. Strengths: 1. Excellent recall; also trained on e-collar for back-up recall. 2. Knows âsit,â âdown,â and âstayâ very well (still practicing âplaceâ). If you enforce it, she knows to sit at the threshold of a door and wait to be released before continuing through. 3. Dream outdoor dog! She loves hiking and camping. Could be an ideal trail running or backpacking companion. 4. Tires from mental stimulation (e.g. training, sniffing) on low-exercise days. 5. Passive- as the runt of her litter, she is extremely passive, has never escalated a fight with other dogs, has never come close to hurting my cat despite multiple opportunities. Challenges: 1. Busy nose- loves the freedom to sniff and follow her nose freely. Loose leash walking is our biggest challenge for this reason. Sheâs come a long way but will continue to need practice! She knows âheelâ well, but loses focus when over-stimulated by traffic, people, etc. 2. Minor separation anxiety- nervous when left alone uncrated, but snoozes calmly and quietly all day while crated on workdays. Reasons for re-homing: 1. She deserves more outdoor space than my apartment can offer her. 2. My resident cat has not warmed up.
