Domino
QuessT's Ebony & IvoryAbout
Domino came to me to be a sport dog, and has taught me so much without competing in any sports. We train for fun, and spend a majority of our days together curled up underneath a heated blanket with a good audiobook.
Domino was born in Missouri, and when Gigi was 9 months old we drove down to pick her up. She spend her first night in a hotel, came home, and became queen of the roost. She is a petite girl, weighing about 32lbs, but what she says goes. She has the skills to do a lot of sports, but becomes over aroused fairly quickly and is what I’d describe as sharp with other dogs. She was altered at just shy of 2 years old and She enjoys people she knows, but has little use for people she doesn’t know (unless they have snacks and then she would leave me for them every time). She is the absolute best cuddler and my favorite coffee run buddy. She is the dog who introduced me to a multiple reward marker system, acclimation and its place in engagement, and was a gentle reminder that we do things because they’re fun.
