Martha D16727

Hi! I'm Martha! I'm from Kentucky. I am about 2 years old and 40 pounds. From her foster: Here are a few things about Martha: She is full of energy! And is reactive to rabbits and squirrels when out on a walk. When she sees rabbits and squirrels she pulls hard on the leash and barks, so she needs more leash training. She will play with her squeaky toys by herself and will run around the house and shake them. Martha is very loveable and is very good in the house. She cuddles up to you whenever you sit on the couch. She also likes to look out the doors and windows and will jump on the doors when she gets excited. Martha gets about 4 walks a day, one being just before bedtime. Her bedtime walk is usually about half an hour, and she still has energy, she gets what we call the zoomies, she runs around the house playing with her toys, and then she likes to jump on the bed. This lasts about 10 minutes, and she settles down. Martha will sleep on the bed with you if it is not too warm. Martha has not meet cats, and she loves meeting new people and dogs. She will play with other dogs but does much better when off leash. We have not let her outside without being on a leash. She is house trained, and we have not noticed any separation anxiety. Martha has not met any children, that we know of, but she is not scared of men or women. ( ** Martha has now meet children, and does not have any issues.) PREVIOUS POST: Martha is a very energetic, playful girl. She wants to play with EVERYONE, including squirrels, people, and other dogs. She has so much love to give and will quite literally climb into your lap and give you all the kisses and cuddles. She loves the water and will jump into the stream/lake on hikes and runs. She does not like baths. She does really well in her crate or even in a safe room, but will whine if she sees you nearby...she just wants to be with you! Dog friends who she can play with are a plus in an adoptive home as she likes company and they will help her get out her energy! She will need some training for leash walking and needs corrections for barking or pulling. However, she is a quick learner and responds to a stern "no" and a "yes" (and a couple of treats as well!). She needs stability to calm her anxiety and someone who will lead her with strong guidance.
