Some History:

Not our first GSP yet surprised us with much unexpected personality that we worked through and work with.

We got Abby right before Covid. She was excelling in her puppy obedience class and then the world shut down and her anxiety increased with not being exposed to normal sounds and interactions in the first several months of her life.

She went to a dog daycare off and on until recently so she is able to interact with others but she is very nervous at first and vocalizes it with incessant barking. I refer to her as an extroverted introvert - likes people and animals but needs space to take in from afar first.

She went through an extensive board and train for three months about 2/3 years ago which significantly helped her and us know how to better work with her needs around anxiety. This was a huge help and much growth occurred. The trainer is very familiar with the breed and even stated how she processes everything through anxiety - whether it be good or bad excitement, it’s all anxiety to her and she’s highly sensitive and easy to overstimulate. You should hear her excited screaming when it’s breakfast and dinner time…

She has been raised around a cat - they are not friends but they aren’t enemies. She has also been raised with our other GSP and she is very attached and desires touch and love from her people.

Could you give Abby what she needs to thrive?
