Indie is exhausted from a weekend of being the queen of this Tudor house 🏡

20 relatives. Loud children. She was so tolerant. Proud of her 🥰

Teddy has had a while off training so today we just wanted to see where she was at, and work a little bit on some frustration around other dogs.

Unfortunately, entitled members of the public couldn’t control their own dogs and created unnecessary stress. But you wouldnt know from these clips because both Teddy and her owner recovered amazingly! Their relationship shines through ✨

As your trainer, I will ALWAYS advocate for you and your dogs - even if that means I get yelled at and called names.

Not only is it against the law to have an out of control dog, but it’s especially important that they don’t interfere with an assistance dog. Yes we were on an open patch of grass, but it was very clear we were training. I asked the woman to recall her dog (she couldn’t), asked her to come and get her dog (she refused), tried to use my body to prevent the dog from jumping all over Teddy (got accused of kicking her dog), AND we tried to leave (we were followed). If Teddy were working, and the dog barrelled into her and caused an injury, that’s someone’s lifeline! Completely unacceptable.

I don’t care for excuses (she constantly told us he was only 7 months old) - if you cannot recall your dog after being asked to then the responsible thing to do is remove them. To completely refuse even when we were trying to get away and follow shouting at us was not an experience I wanted for my client.

I’m so proud of them both for the way they handled themselves 💕

He’ll be 8 in a few weeks.

Some people want to erase me from his life.

I may not ever see him again before he dies.

But he will forever be my heart dog. The one that sparked my passion.

He was so emotionally in tune with me. And sometimes that could be a negative. But on the days where I couldn’t face the world, there he was, nudging my hands to stop me from harming myself, licking my face when I cried, and giving the absolute best cuddles.

There’s more photos of him in my home than there are Indie 😅

Love you always Wilson 💕 Mr W***y Butt

There’s nothing left in the tank to write a meaningful caption.
