About Luna

Luna is a sweet, goofy 3-year-old Golden who loves everyone she meets. She may be a little shy for the first 10 minutes with new people, then becomes your best friend forever. She's very food-motivated (her favorite treats are freeze-dried liver!) which makes her easy to train. Loves fetch, tug-of-war, and will get the "zoomies" around 7pm - totally normal, just let her run it out in the backyard. Fair warning: she WILL try to convince you she's never been fed. Don't fall for those puppy eyes!

Notes

House Rules

No human food - she has a sensitive stomach and will beg convincingly
Always use leash outside - she WILL chase squirrels
Keep bathroom doors closed (she drinks from toilets)
Crate at bedtime - she sleeps in the bedroom crate, door closed. Give her a Kong with peanut butter.
No couch - she knows the rule but will test you. Redirect to her dog bed.
Squeaky toys only with supervision - she destroys them and might swallow pieces
Keep trash cans closed or behind cabinet doors
Doorbell makes her bark - she'll calm down after greeting visitors
