Hello from Kaia!

Hi! My name is Michelle and my husband’s name is Chris. We are in our late 20s and Kaia is our 5 month old Dutch Shepherd. (Born April 19, 2018) She is our first dog together and we do not have any children yet. My husband did a ton of research on dogs before we landed on getting a DS. We were looking for a dog that would be good for a few things: protection, active and good with a family. We thought we knew what we were getting into and did tons of research before and after putting down our deposit. But boy, I don’t know that we could have been prepared enough. Haha. She is an amazingly smart and beautiful dog. She picked up on her basic training very quickly and quickly figured out all of her “difficult” puzzle toys. The beginning was hard but as time goes on it gets better and better. We know that a lot of the challenges (biting, mouthing, barking, etc) are all normal puppy/DS behaviors and we are working with her every day. Each day gets better and better. We absolutely love our Kaia and wouldn’t trade her for anything!
