We want to welcome Sasha to RAGOM land. Sasha is an 8-month-old female Golden Retriever. We have had her in foster care for about one and a half weeks.

Sasha goes into the crate during work hours and at night. She is house trained but we are still learning her bathroom signals, so we go out a lot. When we are home, we use a baby gate to keep Sasha within earshot.

Sasha will sit nice for treats and loves to play with other dogs. She enjoys going for walks and walks very well when using a Gentle Leader. We usually walk once or twice a day. We are also working on the “come” command. She likes to fetch tennis balls and enjoys a good game of tug with people or other dogs. She enjoys being chased by both humans and dogs.

Sasha has a lot of puppy energy and mischievousness. She will grab socks and shoes if left to her own devices. She likes to shred her stuffed toys and bedding. Both of these behaviors are slowly being corrected with training. Sasha will need continued training and activity.

I do not think a resident dog is necessary. If the home has a dog, it must be willing to play or put up with the antics of a puppy. Sasha enjoys kids of all ages, but because of her energy level, can knock over little ones.

Sasha's prospective family will need to be willing to take her for walks and continue her training. She is still a pup and needs to learn how to be a great Golden family member. Let us know if you are interested in learning more about this sweet pupper.
