My name is Wylde!

Name, age, breed: Wylde, 2yrs, Border Collie

Likes: Walks. Playing Fetch. More walks. More playing fetch. Playing soccer. Learning new things. Cuddling- but no hugging. She will lean up against you

Dislikes: small spaces, loud dogs, strangers

What would be the ideal home? Quiet but active. Someone who understands Border Collie behaviors and requirements.
No downtown/busy area, no apartments. Possibly no attached housing. Detached and quiet area ideal.
A home where someone is home often or has the time, a lot of time, to do separation anxiety training.

Good with cats? Unknown

Good with dogs? She’s terrified of other dogs while out, especially if they bark at her. She has made friends with 2 other female dogs (at the same times) after slow introductions and tandem walks. They walk together but do not instigate play. She is getting more brave while seeing other dogs out on walks as long as they don’t bark at her.

Good with children? unknown

Temperament: quiet and nervous

Motivators? She’s eager to please. Not food motivated.

Any commands? Sit, high five, paw, down, spin, go lay down, go get it, bring it here, paws up (on a stool), back up, harness (come sit to get your harness on)

House trained? Yes but is used to going out frequently so will need time to be trained to a schedule/routine.

Crate trained? No. Working on not being nervous around the crate. She is not destructive in the house.

How long will it take to settle into a new environment? A few weeks/over a month.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Prey drive. Nervous around other dogs and strangers, especially if they’re loud or bigger.
Has some separation anxiety. She is very eager to please and learn. She has had 1 “training” session for tricks and has a lot of potential.
Picky eater - will currently only eat Purina Dog Chow Chicken & Steak dry food. Travels well in the car but needs space. Prefers couch or floor over a dog bed. Sleeps on the bed with the human at night.
