π We recently welcomed two new recruits to Dogs at Heart.
πΆ This process is never rushed, first asking the lovely pet parents to complete our online forms.
π We ask for all sorts of details from breed, age, s*x to behaviours, likes, dislikes and everything in between.
πΆ A phone call between us and the pet parent then helps us build a good picture of their dog before we meet in person. Or should that be, in dog?
π Our complimentary Meet & Greet then allows walker and dog to encounter each other for the first time. This is our most crucial stage and I sometimes wonder who is more nervous, us or the pet parent. It's rarely the dog.
πΆ We have a short walk where the pet parent can join if their dog is unsure about going with a stranger, followed by a short car journey as a new vehicle can also be difficult for some dogs.
πΆ Only when everyone is completely happy, do we welcome your dog to Dogs at Heart.
π Our two newbies are very different dogs and you'll see more on them over the coming days. They are worth the wait.
