Original: “This lucky gal will soon visit the beach for her first swim.”
Olive is a beautiful girl with a banner of a tail. She comes to MAESSR from a Delaware family with cats and a Bernese, who weren’t getting a moment’s peace with this exuberant, friendly pup. Very sweet, she’s at that excited Springer adolescent stage.
Olive is an affectionate, snuggly, and smart girl with high, high energy. She knows all her commands thanks to extensive training — she just forgets them sometimes. Reinforcing her training with treats is helping her remember. Her foster family is working with “place” and “kennel up” to provide short spurts of calm. She loves long and frequent walks and needs a significant amount of physical exercise and mental stimulation throughout her day.
This lucky gal will soon visit the beach for her first swim. She rides well in car, sleeps in her crate or with her foster mom, counter-surfs occasionally but responds to “off,” and loves to cuddle her foster dad. Olive is a strong dog who is learning leash manners.Olive was good with her vet exam and lay down for belly rubs while getting her nails clipped for the first time.
Olive is a lively, lively, lively girl who might benefit from agility or nosework, but before those fun sessions, Olive will spend some time in obedience classes as MAESSR only places puppies in homes that are committed to training and bonding with the pup in obedience classes. Puppies require a lot of care, attention, and patience, and they do chew on things! The decision to get a puppy and raise it to be a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted dog is a serious commitment. To reinforce this commitment, MAESSR requires all adopters of dogs one year old and younger to enroll their puppy in obedience classes within 60 days of adoption.
As the wonderful fall days roll on, watch for more to come about this wonderful pup who will be a loving addition to the right energetic family.
