Daisy May is a ~3 year old Bluetick coonhound. She was found as a stray in Texas and was in a remote kill shelter before being brought to Wisconsin. This girl is a gorgeous love bug who can be quite goofy at times. She loves to play, go for walks and then cuddle at night when you make her settle down. Because she was a stray and lived in a shelter she will need gentle reminders of what is appropriate in a home. She is very smart and has made a ton of progress since she’s been in Wisconsin.
Energy Level:
Daisy May is a medium energy level pup who loves to play with the dogs in her home. She enjoys going on a daily 1.25 mile walk with the other dogs in her home. She would do best with someone that likes to go on walks and adventures as they help get her energy out.
Training:
Daisy May is learning what it’s like to live in a house and forming good habits. So far we have learned her name and a positive reinforcement word. Currently we are working on captured attention and will start working on sit next.
Daisy May is a loose leash walker with a front hook harness. She will just saunter along with the other pups. During walks we use the terms wait, ok, and good sniffs - let’s go.
Crate Training:
Daisy May easily goes in a kennel without any fuss for a chicken strip. She will happily snuggle up on her plush blanket and take a nap during the day when she needs a break.
Potty Training:
Daisy May has been working really hard on potty training since she’s come to WI. Right now she doesn’t signal to go outside consistently but if you see her sniffing the ground in the house that’s the signal to go outside. She’s starting to walk to the door to go outside to signal she has to go out. This week we’ll work on teaching her to hit the bells to go out and see if she can pick that up. She will potty on command if she isn’t too busy playing. It’s just about being consistent with Daisy May.
Grooming:
Daisy May is a short haired dog and will require minimal grooming.
Dogs:
Daisy May loves every dog in her home. We have not met other dogs while out on walks. When we see another dog across the street while on a walk she completely ignores them.
Cats:
Daisy May lives with 2 cats that mostly live upstairs behind a cat/baby gate. When she saw the cats she bayed at them and wanted to chase them. With Daisy May being a hound with an unknown background and limited interactions with cats we cannot say that she is cat friendly.
Kids:
Daisy May has only met a teenager so far while in Wisconsin and she does great with him. She does try to play with humans and can nibble on them a little too hard. Older kids who are dog savvy would be best for this girl. She’s just so playful and would potentially scare a young child.
Daisy May is a gem of a dog for those who are hound savvy and know that she will follow her nose and sing the song of her ancestors. She’s a major snuggle bug and is learning so quickly from her fellow doggy-mates on what a good life is like living in Wisconsin.
