Anyone up for helping out with fostering this boy?

We don’t like to admit defeat but Jax’s family are now really struggling to cope.
Everyone would agree that he is the wrong dog for this busy family but we haven’t been able to find anyone who feel they can cope with his behaviour until the training kicks in.
He needs a complete life change and he is still young,,..around 15 months but he does have some bite history…I believe it to be through frustration but obviously can’t guarantee that.
This dog is entering the last chance saloon, anyone feel they’ve got what it takes to turn this dog around?
He needs to be put to work in some capacity and he needs to channel his energy in a positive way.
In Swindon.

🐶✨ A couple of spaces have just become available in my Tuesday evening dog training classes!

Whether you’ve got a puppy and want to set them up properly from the start, or an adult dog that needs a refresher, these sessions focus on the skills that really matter day-to-day.

We will work on:
🐾 Loose-lead walking
🐾 Recall you can trust
🐾 Focus around distractions
🐾 Calm, polite behaviour

The aim is simple — helping you end up with a dog you’re genuinely proud to live with.

Friendly, practical training that fits real life (not just the training field).
Classes are based at Christian Malford Village Hall.

📩 Drop me a message if you’d like more details or to secure one of the last spaces.

• Engagement and focus
• Loose lead walking
• Recall foundations
• Settling calmly
• Polite greetings and manners

Small groups • Professional guidance • Supportive atmosphere • Learning in a relaxed and enjoyable way for both you and your dog

If you are thinking about sharing your home with a spaniel and are currently dog free then please do consider fostering for Spaniel Aid - and take a couple of minutes to read their post on the benefits of fostering.
Thank you. oh… and please share this post:)

Fostering a dog from Spaniel Aid There are many ways to help us at Spaniel Aid, and one of the most important is to become a fosterer. Our fosterers play a crucial part in the adoption process; without them we could not take in or help any dogs. We are always looking for new foster […]

Can anyone help? Please share! X

Our options for Juno are getting very limited. She is in kennels and her kennel is booked this Friday and even if we can find her somewhere for one night we are quickly moving into Xmas bookings and there will be no availability plus she HATES it in kennels.
We are getting some nearlys but not quite but time is rapidly now against us and WE MUST FIND SOMEWHERE FOR HER!!!!
Currently in kennels in Swindon, she needs pet free, child free home and she needs someone around 24/7 for first few weeks which make it virtually impossible for a single person to cope with.
Her anxiety levels are through the roof and she needs to feel safe and to feel she is not likely to be abandoned again and then it will be possible to build up to leaving her for a few hours at a time.
Finding it hard to concentrate on much else at the moment as finding somewhere for Juno is all I can think about.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
