When we first fostered her she would jump up on you to get the attention she wanted, we managed to stop her doing that within a couple of days. Now she comes up to you and either licks/nudges you with her nose or just sits down in front of you. She seems to be a good learner and wants to please you. She walks very well on the lead but may react to some other dogs she passes, she rides well in a car but may need some help getting in and out if it’s a SUV with a high tailgate. She’s good in the house and only barks occasionally, she likes toys but only plays with them for a short time. One odd quack she has is she’ll jump up on a low storage unit (about 18 inches) we have but then she’s scared to jump back down by herself, just put my hand on her collar and she jumps down no problem.
