Hello, I'm Starly
She also has discovered that she loves to play fetch!
Starly's Story
We adopted our dog 3 whole months ago! At PAWS she was called Starly, but we have named her Teddy.
Teddy’s favorite things in life are mealtimes, sleeping in warm places and going for walks. She loves to greet other dogs she has met in the neighborhood. She also has discovered that she loves to play fetch! But she does not like other dogs around when she plays fetch. She is too focused on that ball.
Teddy has been to a Puppy Basic behavior class at Anything is Pawsible and she even earned a certificate! She is very good at sitting, thanks to the folks at PAWS. Now she has also learned down, come, leave it, drop it, look at me, crate time. She is extremely treat motivated! Thanks to a lot of treats and snuggly blankets, she now loves to be in her crate, too.
We are still all home during the day and will be for at least a few more months. She likes us to always be with her and does not like to be left home alone, even when she’s safe in her crate. We will be working on that.
Teddy is now totally house trained but is still working on regularly sleeping 6 hours at night. Sometimes she makes it through and other times she still cries. She has also found she likes to bark a lot when she’s on her home turf. We are working on getting her to be more welcoming to people who come to our property.
