My personality

Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Mila is loyal, affectionate, and goofy. She is smart, knows several commands, and is overall well behaved (non-destructive, never any accidents, listens). Fetch is the best thing in the whole world and so are forehead kisses and snuggles. She is honestly the perfect companion except for her reactivity/aggression.
Strangers need to be introduced gradually and with caution. She is very protective of her space and her person and may not completely let her guard down until a 4th or 5th intro. If another dog comes within 50' of her, she will bark and lunge at them against the leash. She is high energy and despite lots of persistent leash training, she is an even more persistent puller. I have tried all manner of techniques, trainers, different harnesses or leads. She would love nothing more than to follow someone everywhere on a big piece of land. If you aren't terribly fond of human company but would like a silly sweet pea to follow you everywhere and ask for forehead kisses, this is Mila.
