Meet Zara, our happy, playful pup
Zara is the sweetest yellow Labrador pup you could imagine. She has quite dark colouring which makes her bright, brown eyes sparkle when they catch the sunlight.
She just lives for fun. Grab her favourite snake toy and she’ll happily join in a tug of war. She doesn’t really mind whether she wins or loses, just so long as she has fun. Take her outside and she’ll run around catching leaves. Again, she doesn’t mind whether she actually catches them, so long as she has fun. To a small puppy, the world can be a scary place. But not to Zara. It’s all fun, fun, fun!
And when the fun ends? Well when she lived with her ten (yes, ten!) brothers and sisters, she would sleep soundly with them all, their little puppy sides breathing in, out, in, out. Now she’s living with a volunteer puppy socialiser she’ll curl up on an available knee, or snooze soundly in a box.
Lots of fun, and places to snooze. That’s all she asks.
Training progress: fun, fun, fun!
Zara finds training fun, which is really how it should be. The more a hearing dog thinks it’s playing a game, the more they learn. Being a Labrador, she will also do anything for food. This is a great way to teach a young pup the basics from a very early age. Plenty of praise and puppy treats!
So, food and fun are combining well to make her a fast learner. Zara’s already reacting well to basic obedience commands such as ‘sits’ and ‘downs’, but she needs to focus. We’re sure this will come. It just needs time – and treats.
Zara’s already doing really well but will she learn to focus? Will her love of fun actually help her to learn? And will she ever stop eating? Sponsor her today and find out!
