Heidi is food motivated with cheese being her favorite reward. She is super smart and absolutely loves obedience training! She is housebroken, friendly and affectionate and she loves to learn! She places in her crate on command and actually loved being in there in her previous home! She knows sit, down, stay, place, heel and is working on come. She gets the zoomies each night, a peanut butter filled Kong is close to cheese in her book and she loves riding in a car! Heidi also loved the older children in the home. A home with no cats would be best for her as would a home with no other dogs, since she can be dog selective. Her former home had other dogs and she got along with one of them wonderfully, however it seems it wasn't a fit with another. All of these things were specific to her previous home, so we will use what we know to minimize potential encumbrances in her next home! This will be the best way to find the family made just for her... her 'unicorn' family if you will! Heidi will do best in a home with no other dogs or cats, no small children, a family with a clear understanding of herding breeds is a plus. She would make a great hiking partner or companion tagging along for those outdoor activities. Continuing with training with Heidi would be a great outlet, for both her and her new adopter! Highland Canine Training is offering 2 free sessions with her new adopter and will share all they know about her, given their 6 weeks with her.
