Super proud of this pair of wrong ‘uns! Yesterday, Piggie Smalls and Rocket came along to a secure field to check out how one of our dog clients gets on with other dogs off the lead. You may remember Sabine, who joined us at the start of August, when she was rehomed from a local charity. Sabines human is very conscious of her unknown history - and of the assumptions many other dog walkers will make due to breed type. They were, understandably, nervous of allowing her access to unknown dogs in uncontrolled environments. Flip side, we need to avoid frustration associated with denying her those interactions. The life skills training we’ve worked through to this point has had a huge focus on Sabines ability to disengage, which is often key in interactions with other dogs. Safe to say, all the hard work is paying off, and Sabine behaved beautifully with this pair - despite Piggies inappropriate advances once he got to know her 🫣 Picture illustrating the session, as I was far too busy observing dog behaviour and training to take videos and photos 🤦🏻♀️
