Tilly was adopted from the SPCA as a puppy and returned because her guardians didn't feel she was the right dog for them. She will need a home where her caregiver has breed experience and time to work with her.

Tilly is a fearful dog and requires plenty of positive reinforcement for relaxed, calm behavior. To build her confidence and reduce her anxiety, Tilly really needs to use her nose. The exercise of tracking comes naturally for this breed and it is a great tool in which to build a bond with her. She lacks confidence when meeting new canines, therefore introducing her to calm relaxed and sociable dogs is important.

Watch this sweet girl in action.
