HELLO!!!! My name is Pippi!!! I’m a border collie mix with a big personality! I am somewhere between 1-3 years old. That information is currently being debated. I am extremely loving, and very obedient once I realize I should be listening to you. Don’t worry it doesn’t take me long to learn who I’m supposed to listen to, but I definitely need somebody to tell me what they want for me not ask me. If you’re unsure what I mean by that ask my foster mom she talks a lot and can explain it all. I am a high energy dog and need either an active family or a family who has a large fenced in yard with things for me to do so that I can get my energy out. Don’t worry you don’t have to be super active if you have a fenced yard. I’m FANTASTIC at entertaining myself! I would do absolutely fantastically in a home that wants to train. I pick up training very quickly, and I’m always excited to show my new tricks!! I have even learned some non verbal hand commands! I am 100% kennel trained and I’m very quiet inside my kennel. I am very good on a leash, but occasionally get distracted by something fun that makes me want to run ahead, which gives you a quick tug. I am mostly potty trained, and only occasionally have a strange accident. It seems to only be when my tummy is feeling a bit upset. My tummy is a little bit more sensitive. It’s just means that if you switch food brands, expect my tummy to be upset for a couple days… so it’s best to do the switch slowly by mixing the foods together. I know lots of obedience, track, such as sit down stay calm, heel, and touch. All of these could use work for me to do them without fail, but I definitely have the knowledge. I am great with humans of all ages, but I am extremely energetic, so depending upon your family and parenting style, I might overwhelm very young children. I am good with other dogs, but I don’t have the best body language, which, depending upon that dog can tick them off. When I first meet a dog, I tend to raise some of my fur and look like I’m in a predator position but in reality that’s just me nervous and trying to say hello! But dogs were very good at dog body language could think that I am trying to harm them so they will react poorly, which then makes me get more fearful. I take corrections very very well from other dogs so once I realize I upset them, I make sure to get my behavior in line because I want to be their friend so badly! I am just a tiny bit protective of my absolute favorite items (long lasting treats) so it’s best that I received those in a place that I know another dog won’t take them. Don't worry I'm not like that with toys or beds or other things. I show no issues with the humans in my life who take them though. However, it’s always best that you just keep your hands out of my food anyway! In return, I’ll make sure to stay out of your food! I am extremely loyal and love to follow my human around, waiting for them to tell me what to do or to just give me affection. If you are looking for such a smart personality, filled loyal dogs then please look no further, you found perfection!! Hope to meet you soon! Love, Pippi
