Hanka German Shepherd Dog Lafayette, CO

Looking for a loyal, dedicated sweet buddy? Do you enjoy someone always willing to go to the bathroom with you or gaze lovingly at you while you shower? Hanka emphatically says "me, me,me"!!!! Hanka is a very smart girl and quickly learned to sit, down, gentle (to take treats), and off. She initially was a free spirit (AKA no training) and would jump, nip and paw in excitement. She has greatly improved in these areas but still will get excited and jump.
She was surrendered with her sister and together these two girls were the epitome of Littermate syndrome. They were dog reactive, fighting amongst themselves and territorial. They have since been separated and Hanka is a new dog. She loves romping with the resident dogs and has showed zero dog aggression. She has not completely learned how to read the cues of the other dogs and will to work on that (one resident dog is not a fan of sharing his ball - he growls and moves from her and she thinks it is great fun). Hanka would benefit from an owner with GSD experience.
With consistency and training Hanka is going to be an excellent, beautiful and loyal dog. The owners who surrendered her said she was great with kids but in my opinion, her jumping/nipping when excited would need children over 10 that are dog savvy.

She has never walked on a leash when she arrived and now does quite well. She still pulls and crosses your body but doesn't fight the leash. She rode nicely in the car. She has not had an accident in the house and knows how to use the doggie door. If she is out in the yard and sees a person or a dog- she doesn't quite bark. Think Coyote shriek. Probably not good for apartment living unless she would be with you at all times. If she is beside you, she is quiet, content and will curl up anywhere to keep an eye on you.
She is fostered in Colorado Springs.
