🐾 Pet of the Month: Draven!
Favourite Activities: Agility, chasing the hose, and getting all the cuddles!
Favourite Toy: A good tuggy ball or a soft toy made for "destuffing."
Favourite Treat: Definitely partial to a bit of cheese. 🧀
Special Talent: He is an agility pro - so clever he’ll actually correct his owner if the cue doesn't match the move!
Owner’s report: Draven is my soul dog. While he was a confident puppy, a difficult experience with a previous vet made him very wary of being handled. He now has a small, trusted circle of friends who have taken the time to earn his trust. He is the most driven, clever, and cuddly boy I have ever known, and I adore him beyond words. Sian at Smart Vet Physio got him straight away - without her unwavering support and patience, we wouldn’t be where we are now."
To accommodate Draven's sensitivity to formal handling, we built a relationship outside the clinic first. Armed with tasty treats, our patience soon paid off! As an agility Collie, slowing Draven down to engage his muscles correctly made a massive difference in his proprioceptive enhancement. Massive well done to this handsome clever boy and his dedicated soul human 👏
