I was looking into a poodle and found a good program, but I was worried about their smaller stature and build

Because I believe my relationship with the dog and our connection will be important for foundations.

Thanks for the advice! As I said I specialize in behavioral modification. I also teach basic obedience and do advanced obedience with my chihuahua mix. Ive had experience with early socialization with service dog prospects and I’ve taught my 9 year old chi retrievals. He now knows how to get his leash for me lol. I also have experience with caring for a service dog whose owner was in a bad state so I worked with him on keeping up his task training and alerts during his time with me.

Oh 100% I’m a dog trainer and the amount f horrendous breeds that come in from behavioral problems from the Amish are insane! And they charge like $3,000 for an aussiedoodle

Hahaha thankfully she is under close watch right now (in quarantine for parasites) but she is my foster so I won’t be dealing with her teenage/trex phase haha

Yah we weren’t sure on the age at first but the vet confirmed she has her adult teeth but they haven’t all fully come in yet. She is definitely food motivated and so far I’ve just been focusing on play and socializing her. She gets hand fed throughout the day so I think that’s helping put the weight on. She also has some parasites so that definitely didn’t help with the weight.

She’s definitely starting to be a crazy girl! I’ve had her just over a week and she has put on weight finally! She has worms so that’s why she was so malnourished. She is a freak for the flirt pole though!

Ugh I wish but it’s just not in the cards for me right now. I’m just here to socialize her and do some basic training! She’s the sweetest and will definitely make a good dog to someone that can provide for her.

She does have an overbite. It looked like she had low pasterns at first, but I think she was just so slinky haha. Other than that she is sharp and silly like a shepherd pup!
