Nicki is a sensitive girl who is easily overwhelmed in new situations. Around other dogs she tends to shut down—she hasn’t yet learned how to play or feel confident, and she needs someone experienced who can show her the world slowly and calmly. She shouldn’t be homed with young children, and if she were to live with another dog, it would need to be a calm, non-intrusive companion who won’t get in her face or pressure her. With the wrong guidance she may grow into a more dominant dog, so she’ll need an owner who can set clear boundaries and build her confidence the right way. With patience, structure, and gentle support, Nicki has every chance to blossom into the dog she’s meant to be.
