Normally I want the owners/fosters with me for training their dogs, however, since Kia is living in kennels and rescue staff are busy with so many other dogs, it means I may have the odd time where I do training with Kia alone
Like today!
It actually gave me a very good idea of what she’s like when first having to learn to trust someone still so new to her. When I picked her up, she was very unsure about coming near me, which is understandable! We sat for a few minutes just allowing her to come closer and try to suss me out. As soon as she discovered that I had treats, she was ready to go😂
When I last saw her, she was also alert to a lot of things going on around her, like people, dogs, sheep etc. Today, she was actually very relaxed about it all and very responsive when we were working! I don’t expect it to be this easy every week, however that was amazing for week one!
Very proud of her, and can absolutely see her in a home with someone who is dedicated to her ❤️
