Honey

Akita · Female · Young · 3 years

Honey is a beautiful Akita x Malinois. Despite being mostly akita her Malinois traits are strong. Honey needs a lot of mental and physical exercise to fulfil her busy brain. Honey has begun her training to earn her search and rescue license. Honey loves to play and work for her food. Honey is super loving and affectionate with her family. Once you are in she loves nothing more than a belly rub while nibbling your arm. Honey loves a good game of tug of war. Honey has great obedience in areas she feels confident in. Honey will run into her crate when asked and is place trained. Honey finds the outside world overwhelming and scary but is undergoing training and exposure to help her. Honey has gained a lot of confidence but still struggles when triggers are around. Typically Honey doesn’t outwardly react at humans but she needs space as you can see she is uncomfortable. Honey has began to join weekly socalisation classes. Honey is fearful of other dogs and will actively react when out the house at them. Therefore Honey would prefer to be the only dog (she currently lives separated from her foster brother, she doesn’t react at him but doesn’t want him anywhere near her). Honey has regular exposure to people coming over the house to help build her confidence and she has learnt to relax in the presents of people she doesn’t know, she doesn’t typically seek out affection from people she is wary of guests but as she has been getting more confident she has started to play with people and take treats. When Honey first arrived she struggled with separation anxiety, it is currently better than what it was but she struggles when left outside of her normal daily routine. Therefore while Honey settles someone that can be around most of the day will be ideal. Honey will be joining agility and hoopers classes once her reactivity has improved.
