In a short paragraph please provide any other details or a brief overview of your foster dog: Her nickname is “Lena Beana“! Lena is just amazing. She’s been the best foster we’ve ever had. She’s very loving and affectionate. She can play by herself, with other pups or with people. She loves to play fetch with any toy, stick or pinecone. She loves to explore on walks. We’ve enjoyed walks in town, at the Terrace, and alone on crown land. She’ll be a great camping dog.
She’s a slow eater and will stop eating when she’s full. She’s treat motivated! She loves her treats, they make a great reward when teaching her new tricks.
She loves to run. She loves playing with the kids outside, she gets very energetic with them, but not overwhelming. My kids are 6 and 8 and are both still sensitive to jumping and nipping, but Lena doesn’t do that. She’s with them but not on them. She’s a great dog for a family with young kids.
Right now with brushing, she thinks it’s a game and tries to eat the brush. She’s good in the bath. Clipping her nails is a two person job, she doesn’t like that very much. She’s a really good listener. She knows her name.
