Marley

Marley is a good dog, young smart and solid, and with the right owner will reward

Energy Level : Medium ideally you need to give her 2 x 15-30 min walks a day and she is extra happy and being a young dog she needs to learn, if you are pushed for time 1 x 30 min walk and she will be good, but she needs

Barking: Usually pretty quite, unless someone is walking past or trying to break in.

On the lead: Good, but is a strong dog and a medium puller, better the longer you walk her ... ideally suited to a guy or strong girl as he is quite a muscular dog.

Behaviour: She is good at taking commands, although she is only 1 year old so, you have to remind and train her and she will listen. Lovely dog one on one, but gets nervous with new people and new dogs ie tail between the leg, (you will be able to train out of her with practice) , I spent 20 mins taking my time with one dog and she was socialising fantastic in the end, so you will need to practice with her and other dogs, and after 5 or so dogs i think she will build up her confidence..Note she has gotten into a few fights with other dogs due to her not being confident, so she will need to be supervised when playing with other dogs and not left alone with other dogs for extended periods of time just to be safe. in the time i have had tried a few training tips from the Behaviourist and she is a fast learner which is good.

House trained: Always goes outside to pee and poo, occasionally tries to jump up on humans, but only needs to be told to sit and she will obey, ideally i would recommend her as and outside dog, only because she is young and will rip up soft items

Animals: Wants to be sociable with other dogs but is still quite nervous so she has to be introduced very slowly so she dosnt nip, can get over excited and with small dogs, but she is learning to control herself... i have started working with Gen the dog behaviourist and she is learning to meet and greet other dogs, Gen is offering to give 3 free sessions and will become much better.

People: Likes people one on one and wants to meet new people but can get nervous and may playfully nip but is getting better and if you introduce her to people slowly is ok , very playful, and would be best suited to someone with a back yard as she is a medium to large dog and still very much a teenager, when supervised she is well behaved but needs instruction and is getting better, unsupervised shes a bit mischievous naturally , so dont leave any precious items lying around and you will be right.

One of the most intelligent and solid dogs I have fostered out of a dozen odd dogs over the years ...she will be great with a family or a guy or strong girl that is active and that wants a young dog, is prepared to a couple of 5 min training sessions per day home from work at least from 5 ish and home most nights. Will need to go to a home with no other dogs, or small children,

3 x Free training sessions included

Located Richmond area

As with all dogs, she will benefit from ongoing training and continued socialisation.
