Meet Thumper! This beautiful girl is an energetic, curious pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves to chew, play fetch and tug, sniff, explore, and investigate absolutely everything around her. She’s incredibly food motivated and will happily work for just about any treat, especially beef liver treats and sweet potato crisps. Thumper is also a total cuddle bug once she’s had a chance to burn off some energy, happily curling up on the couch for belly rubs, kisses, and snuggles. She even loves watching the ducks at the park! With her fiery personality, athletic spirit, and adventurous nature, Thumper is a little bit like Princess Merida from Brave.

Thumper is a smart, affectionate puppy who is learning more every day. She knows her basic commands and has recently added tricks like “paw” and “spin” to her repertoire. She’s house trained and does well in the home, having adjusted nicely to everyday household sounds. She can bark when someone new arrives at the door, but otherwise settles well at home. Thumper loves being with her people and tends to follow them around the house, settling independently when she’s tired. She’s also comfortable in her crate, although she may whine for a little while when first going in before settling down to nap, chew, or play. She has successfully been home alone for several hours. She’s nervous about getting into the car, but once she’s inside, she settles quickly and will either lie down or sit and watch out the window.

Thumper is friendly and affectionate with people and has done well with children. She’s enjoyed meeting guests when introduced thoughtfully and is curious about cats. She may do well with a confident, dog-savvy cat with slow, thoughtful introductions. Her biggest area for continued training is her leash skills and reactivity. She can be reactive toward dog, squirrels, and people, and may try to chase scooters and bicycles. Loud traffic and busy streets can also make her nervous, so she would do best in a quieter neighbourhood with a family who can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and continued positive training. Thumper is a loving, smart, high-energy girl who will thrive with a family ready to help her channel her enthusiasm while giving her plenty of cuddles along the way!
