Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Sweet Katherine is a fun little dog who enjoys going for walks, lounging in her yard, and going on adventures. She likes going to area breweries and pet friendly restaurants. She likes hikes in the woods and staying dry by the lake!
We usually crate Katherine when we leave the house, as she can be a barker. However, if left un-crated she will bark for a bit and then settle down. She likes being with her people and hanging out with them. She is a bit clingy, but this will eventually get better as she continues her obedience training and stay command.
If you believe that dogs need a leader, they need guidance, they need someone to tell them what to do and when, then Katherine might be a good match. She is not a first time dog. She is not a dog for kids. Katherine is a dog that is insecure and needs someone who can offer the leadership she needs. She's sweet, loving, funny, and worried. When she is in a home that expects her to behave, requires she follow directions, and doesn't ask her to guard the house, she does great!
