Meet Penny, currently residing in Gloucester

Meet Penny, Penny is a beautiful, loving and happy girl who loves to be always close by to her favourite people. She can be nervous of new people entering her home which can cause her to be reactive especially towards males. Penny is a huge foodie and loves everything she is offered, this helps lots with training! She is a good escape artist so will need a secure garden in her new home and her family need to be vigilant surrounding this, she is very clever and will open doors on her own.

Penny currently lives with children who she can struggle with, she will display herding behaviours towards them, she would therefore prefer an Adult only home however we would consider Older Dog Savvy children 14+ with slow and sensible introductions.

Penny can live with another confident, playful dog. She is very good with other dogs and loves to chase and be chased around.

Penny can live with a Confident, Dog Savvy Cat.

Penny accepts a collar, harness and lead. She is mostly very good on the lead however can pull if she wants to play with another dog and she is very strong, this will need continued work in her new home. She can also sometimes be reactive to fast moving people or objects such as runners and bikes. Penny's recall is not good therefore she remains on the lead at all times.

Penny is toilet trained, she likes to open the door to let herself out for a wee. Penny displays guarding behaviours around food and resources, this is well managed by her family with separation when eating and boundaries. This will need to continue in her new home. Penny can display destructive behaviours around the home causing her to chew objects in reach, this will need to be worked on in her new home. Penny can be left alone for long periods of time with no issues. She can struggle with travelling in the car and suffers with severe car sickness, she currently takes tablets for occasional long journeys and copes well with this.
