About Rikki
As cute as, Miss Rikki came into care with a big smile and not much more, she was what we call a wild child seems she had never had any training or boundaries in place. Luckily, she is cute, and her foster mum is awesome, taking her under her wing and starting her on the road to being a great pupster for her adopted family. Rikki is a social butterfly and was always part of the fun and she gets on well with foster sister. Rikki has learnt to walk well on a lead alone and does better when one on one with foster mum, typical girl and wants to be first when she is with foster sister so she tends to pull when it’s the two of them. Being young and not having much life experience Rikki can be a bit skittish with unexpected noises and the dark seems she isn’t a fan of the dark.
Miss R is typical of her breeding and gets excitable with kelpie energy - she needs someone to be mindful of physical and mental exercise. Best results have been when trained with praise and pats - as opposed to food. Tends to focus too much on the food rather than the training. Sits and waits for dinner. Place training, socialization, sit, stay, wait and recall still ongoing however she is doing well. Riki is extremely smart and will be an absolute gem for the person who’s willing to put some effort in to keeping up her training.

Rikki is a dog that won’t do well in the backyard on her own for long periods of time as long as she is included in family activities, she will be a wonderful companion pet.
If you would like to know more about Rikki, her foster mother would love to have a chat.
