Today I: went on my first doggie day out! I was sooooo excited and just wanted to go, go, go! I hopped in the car all by myself and explored everything I could in the back seat (I was thankful my friend put some toys in the back for me to play with). When we got to the park I was excited to stretch my legs and get some exercise, and to sniff all the new smells. Even though I was excited to walk and sniff I still made sure to check in with my friend often. I showed off my sit for lots of yummy treats and got lots of compliments on the trail about what a pretty girl I am.
Three Words to Describe Me are: Active, Intelligent, Attentive
Notes from My Walker: Cherina is a very energetic girl, it did take a few minutes to get her leashed up as she was very excited and wiggly. She has no problem getting in the car but make sure you don’t have anything in the back you don’t want her to get into as she will explore every inch of the car she can haha. I recommend having some toys in the back for her as she is very toy motivated and likes to have something to chew on. She was excited to get walking and she does pull but not unmanageably. Despite her excitement to be out and sniffing she checks in with her walker very frequently and is very attentive to you. She is extremely smart, she knows sit and down, and is very food/toy motivated - with consistent training she could learn many commands. When we stopped for a break she was very affectionate, wanting to snuggle up and get pets, she can get a little mouthy when petting but she is only a year old and still has some puppy mouthiness and jumpiness. Overall Cherina is an extremely intelligent and motivated dog, she needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation in her day to day life but she has the potential to be a very talented girl.
