Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the amazing Tikka! 🌟 This wonderful Heeler is not just a pet; she's a loyal companion with a heart full of enthusiasm and love! Tikka is a shining example of the incredible bond an active, intelligent dog can create with her humans. She thrives in dynamic environments and lights up when there's a little structure in her day. Whether it’s jogging beside you, keeping pace with a golf cart, or exploring the great outdoors, Tikka is in her element, fully embracing the joy of movement! 🏃‍♀️🐶 Now, let’s talk about her impressive training! Tikka walks beautifully on a leash, loads into the truck on command, and is crate trained—a true multitasker! She’s mastered the art of sitting and shaking (with both paws, no less!), and responds especially well to clear cues. After a vigorous play session, you’ll find her joyfully lounging on a beanbag or lying contentedly at your feet, soaking up all the love. Isn't that just heart-melting? 😍 Tikka has a history with older kids and enjoys their company, although she takes her time warming up to new faces—patience is key! She wasn't socialized much during her early days, so a little extra love and positive reinforcement will boost her confidence. Fear not—Tikka is a social butterfly with her canine friends and has lived harmoniously alongside another pup for years. While she curiously watches the household cat, she seems to respect their space! Slow introductions are a must, but a dog-savvy cat will do just fine. 🐾 True to her Heeler roots, Tikka is naturally protective and alert. Although her instinct could have her chasing deer now and then, don’t worry—she always comes back! Chickens? They’re a breeze for her! 🐔 Tikka would absolutely flourish in a home filled with happy activity and those familiar with herding breeds. With the right guidance and structure, she will grow into a loyal and vibrant member of your family. If Tikka has stolen your heart already, great news! You can *apply through the Buddy App* to meet this delightful girl and discover the tremendous joy she can bring to your life. 🥳💖
