She loves her belly scratched and eagerly will show you her commands for treats, once she gets to know you. She loves sunbathing and sleeping. Tigga is reactive on leash to other dogs (barking, lunging, growling). She loves doggy day care and socializes well off leash in a moderated environment.

She can get jealous or upset when we talk to the baby or hug each other. She barks when she sees dogs walk by. She can also bark and paw at her humans when they are busy, like on a call.
