Lizzo is a two year-old lab mix with a heart of gold. She has been close to perfect since arriving in our care. She has a calm demeanor, along with a nice amount of energy and playfulness.
Lizzo loves to cuddle. She will be at your side, on the couch or the bed, in an instant. She even gives the occasional kiss. Lizzo knows the command off and is also content to settle on her dog bed or in her kennel. She stays in a kennel when we are not home, as that is the routine our resident dog follows. She is always quiet when we leave and when we return home. She might be fine free roaming, but we have not tested that.
Besides the command off, she knows sit, quiet, no, and wait. She is treat and praise motivated and I have every confidence she can learn many more skills/words. She walks on a leash and is learning not to pull. She has a strong prey drive and pulls more when she eyes a small critter. She does less pulling when she wears her harness. At home she is a relatively quiet dog. She will occasionally bark at critters outside, the mailman, and the robot vacuum. She usually quiets when asked, but sometimes needs redirection in order to settle and stop barking. Putting her in her kennel while the vacuum runs has solved that problem.
Lizzo’s typical day involves 3-4 walks a day starting at 6am and wrapping up around 7pm. She has been a wonderful friend to our resident dog, and they play together throughout the day. Our resident dog is close in size to Lizzo, but she has met smaller dogs on walks and is friendly towards them. She has not had one accident in the house, that’s a perfect record none of our other dogs has ever achieved! She even went to the door the very first day to indicate she needed to go out. Lizzo sleeps all night long in our room on her dog bed.
If you have a love for labs, this delightful girl may be the dog you are looking for. She is a genuine sweetie with big eyes that will melt your heart. We have really enjoyed caring for her.
