About Skip
Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome..... Dana & Bandito!!
They are a mix of German Shepherd plus Border Collie. This calls for real dog training enthusiasts who understand that this mix of breeds may result in high energy dogs with a seriously high IQ! Not for the faint hearted, these dogs will end up as medium to large sized adults & will require a strong commitment to ongoing positive reinforcement training & guidance in order to meet their physical & mental needs. The more time, effort, consistency & love you invest in your puppy, the less likely it is for behavioural issues to arise in the future.
A few things to consider before welcoming a puppy into your life:
Puppies are trying to figure out how the human world works & they need guidance with this. Slow, positive introductions to new experiences can help build confident, resilient pups. It is very important to reward the behaviours that you like as these behaviours will then get repeated by the puppy as they seek out reinforcement. Praise, food, toys & play are great positive reinforcers.
Puppies CHEW... ALOT!! Be mindful of providing lots of suitable things the chew on & manage your environment so that they cannot chew on things they are not supposed to. Puppy pens & crates are invaluable when it comes to controlling what puppies can have access to. They also give puppies a safe space to eat, rest & play.
Puppies need months of guidance for toilet training - it won't happen in 1 day. Repetition & consistency are key when it comes to raising happy, healthy pups with nice manners. Never punish your puppy for going in the wrong place -reward them for going in the right place.
Puppies are busy, curious, energetic, love to chew on things & require a lot of time & effort put into helping them thrive in a human world. Children must be taught the correct way to behave around puppies & be reminded that they are not toys. Interactions between young kids & puppies should always be supervised.
Quality sleep is vital for puppies & they also require a high-quality diet for optimum development.
The puppies' adoption fee is $499 each which includes their desexing, health check, microchip, & up-to-date vaccinations as well as flea & worm treatments.
