My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

09/24/2024 11:10 A.M.
Sidney is part of a new partnership with RFRD Academy in San Jose. From them, she is developing her skills as she readies for her forever home.

Her trainers delivered this report card:

We are currently focusing on several key training areas:
- Leash Pressure and Guidance: Sidney is learning to respond to leash pressure, which is helping her develop good walking habits.
- Calmness at the Front Door: We are working on teaching Sidney to remain calm when entering and exiting the home, which will aid in managing her excitement.
- Engagement: Sidney is an enthusiastic participant in training sessions, eager to learn and interact.
- Basic Obedience Fundamentals: She is picking up essential commands and foundational skills quickly.
- Crate Introductions: Sidney is adjusting well to crate training, starting to see it as a comfortable space.
- Environmental Exposure: We are gradually introducing her to various environments to help her become more confident and adaptable.

Overall, Sidney is a fun pup with a lot of drive, making her a joy to work with!

Ideal Home/Adopter:
Sidney would do best in a home without young children or small pets. She would thrive with a family that understands her breed genetics and is not a first-time pet owner. An active household that is confident in working with energetic dogs will be the perfect fit for Sidney, ensuring she receives the exercise and mental stimulation she needs to flourish.

DOG DAY OUT REPORT

Today: my friend took me on a 6.5 mile jog around Shady Oaks Park, along Coyote Creek Trail and through Hellyer Industrial Park. I was so excited to go out that I was hopping around like Tigger as we got ready to go on our adventure. I was a bit nervous getting into the car, but my friend showed me what to do and after that, I was confident doing it on my own. On the trail, there were so many things to smell, I didn’t know what to do with myself - I was bouncing all over. There were lots of foxtails though, so we decided to jog for a while but once it was safe, my friend let me get in all the sniffs. There were a lot of distractions on our walk, and some I was nervous about, so my friend helped me through those moments. I also really enjoyed chasing all the squirrels. After our long jog, we cooled down in the shade, where I got treats and pets.
