About Calypso
Prepare to be enchanted, because Calypso has arrived!
This playful, energetic girl is a little goddess of chaos, charm and adventure, with enough puppy-like enthusiasm to keep her lucky humans thoroughly entertained. She's always ready for her next quest and has a personality that is impossible to ignore.
And every goddess has her treasures...
For Calypso, that treasure is FOOD.
This girl is absolutely devoted to treats and may occasionally attempt to launch herself directly into the treat pouch in pursuit of her prize. Luckily, her love of snacks makes her very easy to motivate, and tasty rewards will be a powerful tool for helping this clever girl continue her training and keep her busy mind entertained.
When she's not hunting for treats, Calypso is a devoted warrior of Tug-of-War and a connoisseur of pigs' ears. After conquering her daily adventures, she'll happily retreat to her cosy bed or mat for some well-earned goddess-level relaxation.
But Calypso is a powerful little force of nature, and she needs a mortal who is ready to help her learn the ways of calm. She is a high-energy, high-arousal girl who will thrive with an experienced, patient adopter who understands the importance of helping her regulate her excitement. She'll need continued positive training around jumping and mouthing, as her enthusiasm can sometimes get the better of her.
Calypso would be best suited to a home with older children, as her enthusiastic play style may be a little overwhelming for younger kids. She'll also need to be the only dog in the household. With thoughtful training and slow, on-lead introductions, she can learn to have calm and positive interactions with suitable dogs - while discovering that she certainly doesn't need to greet every dog she encounters.
With consistency, enrichment, patience and plenty of positive reinforcement, Calypso has all the ingredients to become an incredible companion.
In return? Expect adventure, affection, laughter and a whole lot of personality.
If you're ready to welcome a little goddess into your life - one who loves treats, tug-of-war and being at the centre of the action - Calypso is waiting to cast her spell.
