Roxy came to BRLA as an owner surrender with estimated DOB of October 2021. She is a special girl looking for a very specific home
She arrived a strong willed insecure reactive girl. Her time at BRLA has helped her learn better skills to navigate the world. She previously had intense reactivity to dogs and people but overtime and with lots of work, she now is able to walk and engage with many other dogs at BRLA. She is still selective and the right handler is critical in helping her be more open to new canine friends. Her reactivity to people has also lessened, but requires the right leadership to manage her in public.
Roxy is extremely treat motivated which is an asset in her ongoing need for training. Consistency is key and above all she needs a leader she can trust. Without trust in her handlers leadership, Roxy can feel the need to control situations with defensive reactivity. She is a very strong girl who can also be very determined. Her perfect human has to be more determined and have the skills she requires to succeed.
Over the years at BRLA Roxy has made amazing progress, which can be difficult in a kennel environment. Her perfect home environment will be one of consistency and routine with a strong and skilled handler that has experience working with reactive dogs. Plenty of exercise is also key to helping Roxy fulfill her emotional satisfaction and reduce her unwanted behaviors.
We are confident that there is the right human who has what Roxy needs to become the best version of herself and to settle into a life with love and leadership.
THE RIGHT HOME FOR ROXY SHOULD
