German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles

Trixie is a very pretty 10-12 month old female who has definitely had some basic obedience training. She is extremely intelligent and alert. Her owners turned her in to us saying that she was digging, chewing and "stealing". We're not sure what it is that she stole--perhaps it was a car. We DO know that the other behaviors are typical puppy growing pains that can be easily corrected with training. This is a great and responsive dog that needs an intelligent owner to redirect her energy to less destructive behaviors. She is on the small side, about 65 pounds of pure energy.

Trixie heels nicely on a leash when encouraged and praised, and she knows basic commands "sit" and "down". She is still a very bouncy puppy, so she will need a home that will be patient and consistent with her. In return, they will have a loving and loyal companion for life.

DIGGING TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN DOGS ARE BORED OR HAVE NO OTHER OUTLET TO EXPEND SOME OF THEIR ENERGY. GIVING YOUR DOG PLENTY OF EXERCISE AND ATTENTION CAN OFTEN PREVENT DIGGING.
