ABIGAIL Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Haw River, NC

This little dynamo is at least a year old, and she is whirling dervish in the play yard, running zoomies, leaping in the air to catch a ball or toy, and then running some more. Abigail will do best in a very active home where she can get plenty of activity and exercise to keep her busy. She still has puppy in her and needs to learn that it's not acceptable to jump on people or be mouthy. A little effort and training can correct these puppy behaviors quickly. Abigail wants so much to be part of a loving home where she can learn how to be the 100% best girl ever! She simply needs someone who will give her that chance. Is it YOU?? Dog Day Out notes, 6/21/24: We walked the longest portion of the Cates Farm Trail in Mebane, got a Pup Cup from Starbucks, and hung out in the AC at home. She walks well on leash and is high energy. Abigail did great walking on the trail and loved playing in the stream. She was a little reactive to see another dog on the trail but I just held the leash tight and close to her and she was fine. When playing with toys, she wants to chew/ nibble other things and can be hard to redirect; I had to take her outside to calm her down. She will sit if you say Down and do the hand motion for down. Volunteer notes, 5/29/24: Abigail is a nice, friendly, energetic girl who is working on her leash manners. She knows sit and understands that its required for her to get a treat (which she loves!). She does well with consistent, positive reinforcementshe needs a patient human who will match her puppy stubbornness with equal determination and plenty of rewards! She is an extremely pretty girl with lovely muted spots and arresting eyes. I thought she did really well for a first meeting.
