About Michelle

Michelle is a lively dog who thrives on adventure, especially during her daily trips to the dog park. She exhibits her playful and curious nature by engaging with puzzles and enrichment activities. Toys are a must for her—she loves stuffed animals and chew toys, but her absolute favorite is a ball that she can bat around. She's got a knack for hide-and-seek, often launching sneak attacks while playing. Training is a joy with Michelle, thanks to her treat motivation. She knows several commands like paw, sit, jump, wait, and crate training, though she may show off with a few excited wiggles first. While she's friendly with people and other animals, she’s currently learning to manage her reactiveness. A consistent routine of walks, meals, and rest helps keep her focused. Michelle would thrive in an active home, ideally with adults or teenagers who can match her energy. To meet this delightful pup, reach out via the given email.
