Let me tell you about Minnie. She is a 6 yo Red/fawn Peke
with one eye - she suffers from dry eye and by the time she came into
rescue they had to remove one of her eyes. She has limited sight in the
remaining eye - the ARL vet suspects only shadows/light differences -
that being said - she gets along quite well. She came to me with
aggression issues - dominance, not fear. She was quite reactive but has
come a long way. She still needs an experienced owner to manage her
behavior but that is pretty easily done as long as she respects your
authority. Once you are her firend, you are her friend for life. I have
used only positive methods ion training her.
Although
she can still be territorial and a resource guarder (if you gain her
trust you can take anything from her), she is actually a great house
companion. She is smart, responsive and amusing. She is housebroken.
She is affectionate but independent. She loves going for walks and is
an excellent traveling companion in the car. She definitely deserves a
forever home with an experienced owner.
