Beautiful lady Skye is looking for a very special someone to offer her the best home.Within the house Skye is a very playful loving dog, but does not like new people coming into the house. She will bark and will not approach them.With people she trusts, she likes to be close to you and will even follow you to the toilet.

Pulling her into heel position helps counteract this. When someone walks towards her, it’s best to act before Skye has a chance to react (by moving Skye to the other side of the body and with her being told to sit and wait).Skye is anxious of loud noises (for example, fireworks, household drills, etc), She can get a fear of larger objects if she’s not sure what they are (for example a large shopping bag sitting on the table if she hasn’t seen you put this down).

Generally loves the freedom of running while out for walks, especially chasing after her ball.Skye knows a number of commands (sit, down, paw, spin, wait, rollover and more) and enjoys responding to these commands before throwing a toy. When putting Skye’s food out, she’ll be told to ‘leave’ and then ‘take’ once it’s put down, she’ll also do this when playing with a toy.She loves having a job to do, from being told to look out for a family member coming into the house to being asked to go and find a certain toy from her toy box. Engaging her brain is a must for her.Skye loves going out for car journeys and looking out the window.Skye would benefit with an owner with collie experience but also reactive and nervous dogs.
