Reese has been kennel trained since her puppy stages and it is her safe space. Reese may look small but she is built like a tank. If you let her run on a leash, expect to run with her. However, a front lead harness seems to be calming that down. She is well socialized with people and is eager to meet other animals, although introductions should be well controlled. Though, her energy levels do startle the cats, but she generally ignores them. fun loving as she is Reese has not warmed to other dogs. A fenced yard or an acreage would do best for Reese, as she needs her space for exercise. If she finds a toy she likes, she has to keep it with her. You won't be disappointed with this family addition she is treasure.
