11/02/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Upon first meeting Princess Pea, it was easy to see what a goofy puppy she is. She was playing with another dog in playgroup and in true puppy fashion was sort of awkward and silly in her body, but eager to be BFF’s with the other dog. She’s so cute: a gorgeous fawn color with black accents around her eyes and mouth and a wrinkly forehead that makes her always look a bit worried. She’s only 7 or so months, so she will need pet parents that are committed to providing basic obedience, training and socialization, but she already has a pretty good start. She seems housetrained, knows “sit” and “give paw” and is playful and exuberant around children. Like most puppies, Princess Pea loves studfed toys and is always game for a walk or romp outside. With the right guidance and lots of love, Princess pea will make one of the best companions around. Ask to meet her today!

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/26/16 During her initial medical exam Princess Pea readily allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control (It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended.) _X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition (Decreasing the force of the mouth as well as the frequency of mouthing, in this order is recommended by using force-free, reward based training as well to reinforce a soft appropriate mouth and redirect hard inappropriate mouthing onto toys.)
