Notes from listing

Jaya is a sweet husky/german shepherd mix. She is very loving and vocal. She loves a schedule and will let you know she's ready for bed by taking herself to her crate. She loves her crate and willingly goes in every morning when we go to work. She much prefers her crate to free roaming. She gets pretty anxious when left out alone even for a short while. Jaya is fully potty trained and we have never had an accident in the house. She loves her toys, especially her ball, and she will carry it around like a security blanket. She has a history of guarding her toys, but when she feels comfortable she loves for you to play with her, especially fetch, though she may not give it back unless you have a spare ball to trade. She is food motivated to an extent, but can grow bored of treats and will gladly accept affection as a reward. She is very smart and well behaved. She has not chewed on anything that wasn't hers. She will suckle her bed when she's anxious. Jaya has reactivity on the leash especially with other dogs, but we think it stems from excitement and curiosity. She loves having people over to the house, and when we introduced her to another dog she was excited but respectful. She would thrive in a house with a fenced in yard she can run. She is making a lot of progress on the leash and though she does still have a tendency to pull, she learns quickly if you are firm and only allow her to keep walking when the leash is loose. We have also taught her to sit and get her paws wiped before she comes inside, which if kept up is very handy on muddy days. She knows all of the basic commands, and was able to learn more very quickly. She is eager to learn and loves training games. Jaya has started Prozac for her anxiety recently and is adjusting well. She takes the medication very well when it's in cheese or peanut butter. She is not food aggressive and will take treats very gently and will sit and wait patiently for her meals until you use a release word.
