Shy and Fear Aggressive Doberman Mix and Border Collie Mix

Client’s Name: Susan Derrington

Dog’s Name: “Abby” & “Koby”

City: Austin, TX 78759

Breed: Border Collie Mix and Doberman Mix

Likes: Abby likes toys, rawhide and food. Koby likes walks, rawhide and food.

Pet-Peeves: People (strange people and strange dogs).

Favorite Toy: Koby is not big on toys abut Abby like everything, especially balls.

Favorite Treat: Koby used to be overweight so we don’t give them traditional dog treats. Koby’s weight is good now, but for treats they still get carrots, cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas (LOVE bananas).

Favorite Walk: There is a 4 mile walk around the neighborhood that we do before it starts to get too hot.

Best Trick: Abby does “settle”.

Arrival Story: We got Abby from Craig’s list. They didn’t want her (the couple broke up) so they just stuck her in a bathroom to live – very sad. And her name used to be Jelly. So we rescued her. We were there at (or very shortly after) Koby’s birth. There were three puppies. One little, one big and one medium. Koby was the little one. I decided to keep the little one and my boyfriend kept the other two. To be honest, all three have been “strange” dogs all their lives.

Why Training / Sit Means Sit: I want to be sure I am in control. I want to be able to take them places (like the lake) and know they will be safe and that I will be able to control them.
