Hello, I'm Derby

Ainsley (formerly Derby) just recently learned to open door knobs. This is both cute and annoying!  Ainsley now has access to the bathrooms and loves to play with toilet paper!

Derby's Story

We changed Derby’s name to Ainsley.  She is a very sweet and social dog!

Ainsley loves to run around and play with other dogs at the dog park.  When she isn't running around chewing on everything she finds, she loves to cuddle up with us on the couch!  We have a 10 yr. old Frenchie who doesn't have the same energy to play.  Ainsley is slowly learning to leave the Frenchie alone and is refocusing her energy on other things. 

Ainsley is a very smart dog and always curious!  She just recently learned to open door knobs. This is both cute and annoying, as this allows her to get into more mischief in rooms we though were safe.  Specifically, she now has access to the bathrooms and loves to play with toilet paper, which we attached picture of!

We finished the PAWS puppy training class.   Ainsley’s a quick learner and she is very motivated by treats.  

During the first warm weather of the year, we took Ainsley to the dog beach and she loved running and rolling in the sand!  The moment Ainsley interacted with the water, she ran for the exit. She is not a big fan of the water yet. We have taken Ainsley to swim classes to get her used to the water. She still a long way to go but she's a natural swimmer!
