2/19/2020 Update: Ayla has been with her foster family nearly 6 weeks now. She has done fabulous! She turned 10 months old on February 2nd. Ayla is exceptionally smart. She has picked up on the routine with precision. She is 100% potty trained with zero accidents. Ayla has  improved with going into her crate and settles down much quicker. Ayla does better in the crate when she has a high value treat/toy to occupy her and when she doesn't hear her people in the house. Ayla is very much a velcro dog. She is phenomenal in the car, she rides wonderfully and rarely makes a peep! Ayla is still learning her place in the pack and challenges authority but she is getting better learning the boundaries. Ayla has the potential to be an absolutely amazing dog for a family who can give her the patience, training and leadership she needs to be her best self!

1/13/2020 Introducing super girl! Ayla is a 9 month old pup that has it all...beauty, brains and personality! Ayla is super smart. She knows how to sit, give her paw, she knows down but sometimes gets distracted with her puppy energy and excitement! She is strong on a leash but walks beautifully with the proper training collar. Ayla is eager to learn and is food motivated. She is very in tune to direction and picks up on things very quickly. Ayla is pretty well potty trained. On occasion she can get overly excited and urinate in the floor. Ayla is having a difficult time with crate training, she does not go into her crate easily and will bark and whine consistently...we are working to improve this! Ayla is very active. She loves to chase balls in the yard. She absolutely loves toys...all toys. Ropes, balls, bones. You name it, she likes it. She really likes her human to engage her and will drop her toys on your lap so that you can toss it to her. Ayla can also be quite mouthy. We are working on correction and redirection with this behavior. Ayla is a big girl who doesn't know her size. Due to her mouthiness and tendency to play rough she will not be adopted to anyone with children under 13. Ayla is a strong willed girl who will need a strong leader to help set boundaries for her, if not she will gladly assume the leadership role.  Ayla has been good with other dogs, however, she can be a bit rough and tends to nip and pester other dogs. She would do best with larger dogs and is not recommended as a playmate for a small dog. Ayla is not a fan of kitties! Ayla is an amazing girl!
