My name is Eden!

Eden is an incredibly smart and energetic dog who thrives in a structured environment. She enjoys regular walks, playing fetch, and working for toys or treats. In the home, she can be very sweet and affectionate, often cuddling up with her person for some quiet, relaxing moments. She is potty-trained, has good leash manners, and can be trusted in a crate for short periods. She also gets along well with other dogs of similar size and enjoys their company.

Eden has a few behavioral challenges that will require ongoing training and patience from her adopter. She can experience moments of high arousal, particularly during play, heavy petting, or walks, which may lead to behaviors such as jumping, mouthing, and pulling on the leash. Eden also has "stranger danger," meaning she can react fearfully to unfamiliar people by barking, growling, or snapping. This reaction is rooted in fear rather than aggression, and with slow introductions and positive reinforcement, she can learn to feel more comfortable around new people.

She needs a patient, understanding adopter who can manage these situations by providing calm guidance and helping her stay relaxed and redirected during high-stress moments.
