**IN FOSTER**
Govida came to TJO as a very nervous stray, but once she settled in and became more comfortable, she proved just how much energy she had! She can still be nervous when meeting new people, but given time she can warm up quick. She loves to jump, and can reach some pretty impressive heights, so a tall fence is a must for anyone looking to meet her!
OTHER PETS:
Godiva is enthusiastic and overexcited when meeting other dogs. This energy can be a bit much for most dogs. She does well in play groups with other dogs but we anticipate she would do best as an only pet. NO CATS [Should Be Only Pet]
OWNER EXPERIENCE:
Godiva would do best with someone who has experience handling large, energetic dogs with positive reinforcement, as she does pull strongly on the leash and can get overexcited. [Experienced]
KIDS:
Because Godiva is a strong dog that doesn't quite understand boundaries yet, she would do best in a home without any kids. She's jumpy and can get overexcited easily, and she's uncomfortable with some types of handling, so an adult with experience and confidence in handling would be best for her. [Adults Only]
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Godiva is a lot of dog with a lot of energy. In a home environment, she would do best with daily walks and various forms of mental enrichment to keep her mind and body busy. [Olympic Athlete]
VETERINARY CARE:
[Routine]
LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:
While Godiva does seem to know `sit` and `paw,` she is still at the beginning of her positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Godiva not only learn her basic cues but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well! [Intense]
