Mabel

Introducing ✨ Mabel ✨

Name origin: Latin fr. amabilis: lovable; dear

Mabel is true to her namesake. Just shy of 5 months old, she is a true velcro baby that loves to be near. She is a smart girl that is very treat/food motivated. Still shy and timid in new places, she is working on building confidence and will need a calm presence that uses positive and rewarding training techniques. She was in a small, rural shelter as wee one and so does have some anxiety that stems from a stressful situation. Despite her rough beginnings, she is progressing so beautifully!

Mabel knows her name and will make eye contact with its use. She has perfected “sit” and even knows without prompt to sit at the proper times. She is doing great with practicing to “settle” or wait before digging into her meals, and with going out an open door and waiting for the “okay” to go. She is crate trained. She is working on potty training and on leash manners. She has picked up quite quickly on the daily flow and this sweet girl has no real interest in going on a walk when she knows that couch snuggles come after the walk. Exercise is totally overrated for this kiddo. Lots of chew toys and stuffies are a necessity for this teething girl. She does great with other dogs (but still needs learning on proper introductions and dog manners). She is being fostered with two confident and non fearful cats. Mabel is respectful when the cats are giving a boundary but is excited when they want to play.
