Marigold has been adopted!

My care has been sponsored by Wendy Glander!

Personality: Marigold is an very sweet girl who has energy to burn! She loves to run around in a secure yard, she plays with toys and checks in with her people for some pets or treats. Once she has gotten her energy out, Marigold loves participating in training, she is treat motivated and ready to learn new tricks. She already knows "sit", "down" and "shake". Marigold would make a great hiking or jogging partner to someone with active lifestyle.

Marigold has a post-adoption training scholarship sponsored by Pedigree Foundation. This entails one free training session with a positive reinforcement trainer who can help to create a plan to work with Marigold's leash/barrier reactivity or anything else that may come up.

History: Marigold came to us from another shelter.

Dog Skills: While Marigold started off enjoying the company with other dogs, she has gotten more stressed the longer she's at the shelter and is now nervous and stressed with unfamiliar dogs. This may change once she's settled and comfortable in a home environment. For now it's recommended that she's the only dog in the household as she transitions into a new home.

Cat Skills: Marigold has shown to bark at cats through a fence.

Leash Skills: Marigold can be reactive towards other dogs, meaning that she barks when seeing a dog on leash or through a barrier. This is mostly out of frustration that something (the leash, window, or fence) is holding her back from checking out the other dog. It is recommended that adopters work with the dog using positive reinforcement training techniques and be pro-active in re-directing her away from practicing this behavior.
