Riley is the sweetest love bug. She is relatively low maintenance and would be happiest snuggling with you all day. She is house trained and trained on an invisible fence. She has also gone to daycares and overnight boarding. Riley has no issues with our other dog in the house or on the leash. However, when she sees unfamiliar dogs on a leash she gets little worked up. She loves people and is very good with our son but if she gets worked up in the house we do get anxious. She would do so well with someone who just wants a love bug to snuggle and lives out of a city or neighborhood.
