KATANA FOSTER UPDATE!

I've been fostering Katana for a few weeks and she's proven to be an awesome dog. She's an active and fun little pittie mix who's looking for an active family of her own. She is 4 years old and around 45 pounds. Here's some info:

HOUSE TRAINED  she is one of the few fosters I've brought home who's never had an accident. Accidents are to be expected as they are typically nervous and don't know the new routine yet. 

CRATE TRAINED She actually loves her crate. She's quiet when in there, and goes in on her own at bedtime. I leave the crate door open, but she stays there till I call her name.

SMART this little girl is super smart and food motivated so teaching her new things is easy

LIKES THE RAIN no more dragging your dog down the street when it's raining.

LOVES CAR RIDES  in fact she loves them so much that she will dart to your car every time you two leave the house

AFFECTIONATE super sweet and loving. She's a leaner, but not a velcro dog. You can actually go to a different room (except the kitchen) and she may or may not follow you

PERFECT AGE at 4 yo, she is still high energy and playful, but can chill out as well. 

SMALLER SIZED at roughly 45 pounds, she's an awesome size. Not too big, not too small.

WATCHES TV  she watches TV quite often and if there's animals on, she will run up to the TV and bark. You'd be surprised at how many times you see animals on tv, lol

DOESN'T CHEW ON STUFF

she doesn't chew or play with anything that's not hers, with the exception of an occasional sock. She will grab one but doesn't chew it up

SHY WITH STRANGERS  she can sometimes be a little shy with new people so you need to do proper introductions. (typically having the person give her a treat and she's good) 

PROTECTIVE OF FAMILY  who wouldn't want such a cute bodyguard 

BARKS AT NOISES OUTSIDE so she's definitely not a candidate for an attached home or apartment

LOVES TAKING WALKS she loves being outside walking and smelling everything

GREAT RUNNING BUDDY. we've only run a couple miles at a time but she's a good partner

GOOD W OLDER KIDS  per her previous family.

DOESN'T LIKE OTHER DOGS  she needs to be an only pet. This isn't a big deal for some people as they only want 1 dog. She's such a good dog, she's all you will need.

LEASH REACTIVE she is quite leash reactive when she sees other dogs. This is something you can work with her on, and remember she's food motivated so that will help a lot. She also wants to chase every cat, squirrel and rabbit she sees.

TOUCH SENSITIVITY she can be weird about her hind end and while putting on a harness. This is no big deal for me, there's things I don't like as well so I just avoid doing it to her.

SCARED OF THUNDER she pants and paces

Katana is a wonderful and easy foster that is so deserving of a wonderful forever home. She's not perfect, but pretty darn close. If you would like more info, please email me a Karenrph@gmail.com.
