Dickory Seeks her Forever Family

Dickory has been a great little girl the last few days. She hasn't had an accident inside (granted, I'm very thorough in my crate-training, and don't leave her out unsupervised, so it might not be fair to say she's housebroken), she has been a good girl at daycare playing with all the dogs, is super friendly to everyone she meets and seems to be okay hanging out at home in her crate for a few hours. She puts up a good whine for a few minutes until she realizes it's getting her absolutely nowhere and then settles right down. We're still working on the leash manners, but she'll get there.

Give her a good obedience class and she'll shape up just fine.

I see a lot of Shiba in this girl, with something else to soften her up.

What do you mean I'm not allowed past the baby gate unsupervised??
She's kind of a rare type of foster in that she seems quite fine with absolutely anything. You can handle her any way you want and she just kind of goes limp ragdoll mode. As an only dog or in a pack, with kids or without, with active people or with medium-energy people, she'll do just fine. Whoever adopts her just has to realize she's still a young girl and needs some training and a lot of leadership (just like EVERY puppy as far as I'm concerned) to be the best dog she can be. Not to say she's an 'easy' keeper or anything, but she definitely doesn't have any issues to get over and manage. She'll be a lot of fun for whoever is lucky enough to adopt her.
