Get inspired by real stories
“She’s doing well for the most part. She’s still guarding a little & likes to play quite roughly, so we keep her on a leash around children. She’s very intelligent & has taken to training beautifully, but when she gets too excited that all goes out of the window!! She loves to use her voice (and boy, what a voice for such a small dog!) They call her Ruffnut now!”
“Alexis is getting on really well, he's fully settled in and he's a totally different dog to when we got him. When he first came to us he was scared of everything, now he comes to pubs and cafes with us really happily and even takes the train sometimes! He has so much personality and we're both really glad to have him - he's sitting on my foot right now as I'm working from home. I must have millions of pictures of him by now, we're obsessed. She's definitely come out of his shell in some other ways, he now passionately hates cats, foxes, and the postman.”
“Darie arrived on 29th August this year, very scared and unsure of himself. We knew that Darie had a phobia of leads, so we had done some research and bought Darie a harness to attach the lead to. After his 48 hours quarantine, amazingly Darie willingly walked down our quiet cul-de-sac wearing his harness. Very slowly and always at Darie’s pace, we have introduced him to different experiences and socialized him meeting friends and their dogs on walks where lockdown has allowed. Darie has completely transformed from the timid dog that he was, tail down, walking close by my side and freezing when he saw another person or dog in the distance until they had passed – even freezing occasionally...”
