Meet Cali & Willow. They are our wonderful Foster dogs who came to us after circumstances in their previous home meant they needed to sadly move on.
The reports were as a first foster these were a lovely introduction as they were without behavioural issues. Often people associate aggression & reactivity as key behaviour issues & of course they are and these girls certainly have neither. However I quickly found hyperactivity, noise sensitivity, poor lead walking, lack of boundaries, questionable obedience, territorial issues with each other, opportunistic food stealing were amongst the issues these girls DID have.
So it's for me to address these & believe me, they're well worth it as they're incredibly giving & loving dogs. Training is well underway and improvements quickly evident. What this has shown me is that they're very many such wonderful lovely dogs looking to give & receive love and find their happy future & forever home. It's a clear indicator towards the merits of looking to rescues rather than necessarily buying a puppy (and believe me puppies are incredibly hard work not for people without sufficient time & patience).
