Welcome Phoebe to WAOK9! 🥳
Phoebe is about 1-1.5 years old “Something” Doodle (best guess is Aussiedoodle) who was saved by a dear friend of mine. Phoebe’s life before is unknown but she came with severely matted fur, infested by flees, underweight, extremely anxious, whiny, separation anxiety, all the “good stuff”. Poor thing was a hot mess both physically and mentally.
My friend has done an exceptionally good job cleaning her up, getting her used to being groomed (Phoebe loves the attention now), and they started crate training and loose leash walking right away with great success.
Here are their goals for Phoebe:
- enjoy off-leash adventures and be able to run as freely as her heart desires when playing fetch while also having a reliable recall for safety
- proper socialization: no jumping on people and the ability to be neutral around dogs when it’s not play time
- settle easier in new environments.
Even though the foundation is good, we still have some work to do. Stay tuned for her transformation!
