Needs to have a fenced environment and would benefit from obedience training.
Lanie is a shy, sweet breeder relinquishment. She’s not as socialized as we’d hoped but feel because she’s good with other dogs will open up. She will need some guidance with leash walking but we know she will catch on in no time.

Foster Update: 4/3/24
Lanie continues to become more confident in her foster home. A few things that seem to initiate a fearful response are people wearing hats & oversized coats such as her foster mom’s Carhart jacket she wears to work in the barn. She is consistently coming into the family room each evening with the rest of the family, including the other 3 resident dogs. She is quite fond of the resident cat, in fact, the cat always lays next to Lanie when she is being brushed which is a nightly ritual. Lanie is looking for a home that will meet her where she is in her post mill development and patiently work with her to develop more and more confidence. Could that home be yours?

Lanie continues to make slow but steady progress. She is still fearful of people and will not let her foster family pet her. She will not take treats from their hands; however, she will accept treats and pets from their adult son who visits from time to time. She now goes into the fenced back yard without having to be leashed, but continues to bolt down the steps. She enjoys going on pack walks with the other dogs and will now jump in the car on her own. Lanie still has a way to go, but her foster family is patiently working with her and waiting for the day she will accept pets from them.

Foster Update: 2/5/24
Lanie is a tiny bit less fearful. Lanie's foster mom has noticed a significant improvement since Lanie began taking some medication that is helping with her fearfulness. She will now come when foster mom calls her to join the rest of the family, both human and canine. She remains very fearful of people and still will not make eye contact with humans. She is venturing out of her comfort zone a bit, joining the other dogs for a walk on sunny days. A few weeks ago, this would not have been possible. While Laine appears to be house trained, she does still have some submissive peeing and pooping when she is very frightened. Stay tuned for further updates on this sweet, scared, girl.

Lanie's foster mom reports she is slowly making progress overcoming her fearfulness. She interacted with the resident dogs recently, which is the first time she has done that. She now is coming out of her crate for short periods of time, usually going to a corner of the living room and lying on a dog bed. She remains fearful of people, but will allow her foster mom to brush her daily. She is still fearful going outside to potty, but our trainer has given mom some tips to help with this. Stay tuned for further updates on this sweet girl.
