Channel (Chacha) is a very sweet girl. She loves giving lots of kisses. When I get home from anywhere she likes greeting me with her little wiggle butt that’s why I call her Chacha.
As soon as she got to her foster home, she claimed the couch as her bed. We did some crate training the first week or two. She still gets her meals inside her crate. In the beginning, she would voluntarily relax inside a couple times, but she also knows how to unlock the crate door when she wants to get out.
She is very well potty trained. She has had 0 accidents since she arrived a month ago. Her foster mom works up to 12 hrs sometimes and Chacha holds it in just fine.
At home, she doesn’t bark even though we live in a busy area. She seems to just sleep when I’m away.
She does have a lot of energy so we like to go on long walks late at night/early morning when there are hardly any people outside we’ve been doing 2 hour walks.
During the day, there are too many distractions around our area so we stick to a lot of short walks. She feels strongly about other dogs or animals and gets reactive. Its important to spot distractions first, we can desensitize her with training.
She seems to initially like women more than men. But we recently got a male dog walker and she loves him and gives him lots of kisses as well.
She’s a very sweet big velcro dog, likes to stick to me to cuddle on the couch. Recently let her on the bed and it’s been game over since. She loves sleeping cuddled up next to me. She’s very big on the kisses. She does need to work on not jumping when she’s excited.
Channel will do well in a home with no animals, and no children. She will need enough space to play indoors and also a yard would be ideal for her. She will need an owner with intermediate experience with dogs, who is willing to keep training her.
