Bella

Bella is a 3 year old female Cross-Breed. She is reactive with new visitors, but she does calm down however is generally quite nervous. She has growled but never bitten. Using a safe space when people enter the home will work well for her. She does not show any reactivity over food or toys. Once Bella is comfortable with people she is very happy, although a generally quieter home with fewer visitors would be best. Bella accepts a collar and harness, as well as a slip lead. She is strong and can pull fairly hard. She is reactive to dogs on walks, and she is largely nervous of people. She will sometimes pull away to avoid people walking past. She isn’t reactive or bothered by traffic, or bikes or anything like that. Bella travels well in the car. Bella currently struggles to be alone, being left for up to an hour but can bark and jump up at the window. She can be distressed upon someone coming home and will need someone who is around much of the time. Bella is quiet at night, sleeps in her bed in the living room. Comes to wake me when she needs to go out, which is only once a night now. Usually around 7am. Bella is an affectionate love bug, she is very intelligent, quick and eager to learn. Loves her walks, sniffs her way around everywhere including the house and garden. Started playing with soft toys but got bored of them quickly. Has quickly figured out a puzzle tray containing treats and enjoys any interactive toys. Loves her licky mat and Kong. Lets you know when she wants to go ‘peepee’ by going to the door and scratching, if you don’t notice she will give a little woof or a tap. Off the lead in the garden she does zoomies, is fast and has a terrific jump, would be great at something like dog agility. She is very reactive when anyone approaches my house or next door, barks frantically. Bella has improved over her time in fostering a lot and will need continued work to help her settle. he has attended training classes and done really well with the training and become friendly with some of the dogs there. She lacks confidence and likes reassurance. She is very nosey and will look out the window for hours. She is a special girl that is very loving when she knows you.
