OCEAN - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ocean is a lovable, friendly girl who likes treats of all kinds. She has lived around children of all ages while her owner ran a daycare and is described as gentle. She already knows sit, down, and paw, is highly treat motivated, and loves learning with positive reinforcement. Loud noises can make her a little shy, but with reassurance she'll settle back in. When it comes to other dogs, Ocean prefers a slow introduction. She may bark when she sees dogs on walks because she's eager to greet them, and once she's comfortable, her play style can become enthusiastic and a little rough and she hasn't lived with other animals so slow gradual intros will be important. She is potty trained and used to a schedule and is crate trained, though she doesn't really use the crate.
