About Tulip

Hello! I am looking to rehome Tulip, my three-year-old Blue Healer, St. Bernard mix. We unfortunately cannot provide her the type of environment that she needs while also caring for my late mom's eleven-year-old Jack Russel. To put it up front, the two got along pretty well for most of Tulip's life (both dogs knew each other since Tulip was a newborn), but lately she has started showing aggression that has made us afraid for our other dog's safety. We think Tulip would thrive best in a single dog household, as she is her best behaved when our other dog spends the night with my dad (unfortunately she cannot stay there full time or else we wouldn't be in this situation). She is very reactive toward strangers and other dogs, and makes sure to let you know, though she has improved since taking her to a trainer. To me, my fiance, and my family, she is extremely sweet and loyal. My family is large, she has interacted positively with kids from ages 6-15, and a family friend's toddler and baby. She is not a fan of cats, however, even my family's. I honestly don't think she's great with other dogs. She is lovely around her dog parents and the other puppies in her litter but this posting is regarding issues with our other dog. My other dog is small, and she doesn't like cats, chases bunnies, squirrels, and birds, so small animals are likely a pain point for her. With our other dog, she has issues particularly with resource and toy guarding. She is very smart, and knows the tricks sit, lay down, shake, hi-five, lo-five, leave it, find it, and here. Like mentioned previously, she is very reactive, however, she knows she isn't supposed to yell at the neighbors, and tends to bring us toys to distract her with and throw for her. Leave it and find it are great distractions too. She has okay recall, she comes when called in the house and while on our walks, but not really when we're at the park. We have never walked her off leash and have not tried off leash recall. She is muzzle trained and crate trained. In short, she would be a great dog if our circumstances were different. Aside from my other dog, who was moreso passed down to me, Tulip is my first dog, and I've made a lot of mistakes. Getting her was admittedly an impulsive decision, and keeping her for three years was a bad one, I'm hoping finding her a new, forever home is the best decision I can make for her, and for my other dog.
