Meet 2403-1200 Vixen

I wasn't sure how old VIXEN was when I first took her out but quickly I realized she was still most likely a puppy...and without any formal training to boot. I was correct, too. She is only about 1 1/2 years old. She pulled on the leash like a freight train. She pulled towards other dogs...like a freight train. She crisscrossed in front of me, behind me, around me the whole time we were walking. She is, however, very friendly to people although it might take a hot minute for her to warm up. She was surrendered with another dog after not getting along with that other dog in the home. Both were intact and becoming sexually mature as well as being crated together with little ability to get away from each other. Vixen needs a fresh start and a patient person to help guide her. She would benefit tremendously from some training, daily and consistent. We are told she isn't house trained...again patience, training, consistency. Vixen is otherwise a sweet active girl who will need lots of your time. If you think you have the time and the willingness to give her, come out to meet her! Bring your older kids as well!    VBACAC 341 S Birdneck Road, VB Open daily 12-5 pm.
