On Monday evening, I welcomed Ajia back for a gentle pre-class sniff around.
Beautiful Ajia has been a much-loved member of the Happy Tails sniffing groups for a long time. Recently, however, she’s been through a difficult period after developing epilepsy. Following an emergency vet visit during her first episode, she understandably became anxious about visiting places away from home.
Rachel has worked incredibly hard to help rebuild Ajia’s confidence, and with the Spring Scentwork event coming up later this month, we felt it would be a great opportunity to create some positive experiences in the hall again after such a challenging couple of months.
Ajia took everything in her stride, and by the end we felt confident enough to task her on to search for the Kong — video in the comments!
It’s amazing what patience, understanding, and consistent effort can achieve after an upsetting experience. Huge well done to Ajia and Rachel — a wonderful example of trust, teamwork, and a brilliant partnership 👏
