About Me
Katie's family believes she needs a more active family preferably with another bigger dog, that will work with her on training and exercise. She usually plays well with bigger dogs and enjoys the dog park. She is housetrained and knows how to use a dog door. She also knows a few basic commands, like sit and down. She is very loving and wants to be with people, but she can overwhelm smaller animals (dogs/cats) and can knock down smaller children. She hasn't learned not to jump and it sounds like she has some alpha behaviors with smaller animals, not with dogs her own size or larger. She has lived in a multiple dog household but would be better placed with larger dogs and not young children. She loves going for rides in the car and will sleep at the foot of your bed if you let her. She enjoys watching T.V. with our kids aged 7 and 8. Katie really enjoys walks as well but needs an adult to walk her as she still needs training.
