Arianna is excellent with other dogs and cats. Cats she mainly ignores and she is extremely submissive with ever dog she meets. The sweetheart just wants to be friends with everyone. As for children, because she is a puppy still she can get a little over excited at meeting new people but after an hour she settles down and will just lay at their feet. She doesn't react when they step on her tail either.

Arianna is learning that jumping up or nibbling on people is not an example of good behavior.  So, she's working on controlling herself in such situations.  She met kid relatives of her foster mom, one of which is a toddler, and she did wonderfully once she settled down.

If Arianna's future home has another dog of any age, she would learn from him/her in addition to learning from humans, but it is not necessary.   As long as she gets out at least once a day for a good game of fetch or run around the yard, she's good.

Arianna is working on crate and car training. She takes a bit to get into a crate but if you put a handful of food in the crate and just wait she will go in. As for the car, she doesn't automatically jump in for a ride.  If she is picked up and placed in a car, she is just fine.

As for basic commands, Ariana has sit and stay down pretty well. This girl would sit on command while her leash is eing attached, or sit and stay to eat.  She almost completely mastered the "lay down" command.  She is excited to start learning how to heel next.  Arianna's recall is usually good unless she gets distracted by a good scent. On the leash, Arianna exhibits excellent manners, but if a squirrel appears on the path, she might pull.  She will bark when she gets excited, wants attention, or there is barking outside/on TV. Arianna may have a touch of hound in her.

Arianna hasn't gotten used to brushing yet. Her little quirk is, she loves green rugs, for some reason, just to dig at them and carry them around.  Her energy level is moderate,  although it will likely drop to low when she matures a little more. She has a burst of puppy energy in the morning but then just snoozes most of the day or just hangs out around whoever is home. A good run around the yard a day helps her burn off the energy well. She positively adores playing with a canvas frisbee and she is getting more keen on tennis balls now too, although she is not overly obsessed with either. Just if someone happens to throw one for her she will gleefully go get it.

 

The best thing about Arianna is she is just an all around dog who is happy to do whatever her person is doing.
