Sophie is an affectionate 2. 5-year-old dog who comes with a couple special needs. The most serious is that Sophie is a strong willed dog in a way that can manifest as resource guarding. If she has a very high value item, the only way to get her to drop it is using a shower of high value treats. Approaching her in these situations will be met with a growl, then baring teeth, and finally snapping. She is also not afraid to growl and eventually snap if you attempt to pick her up when she does not want to be. Shes anxious about car rides and new places, especially enclosed spaces with a lot of activity. Combining these, boarding has been a challenge for Sophie even though she is a sweet and friendly girl with both dogs and people. So we are looking for an in-home option for her while we are on a Friday to Monday trip May 9-12.
