A little apology for the lack of updates recently!
It's been a busy few weeks with half term, my birthday celebrations, and alongside that I've been preparing for something very exciting. This weekend I'll be speaking at the Inside Out Symposium with Canine Principles at Hartpury University. It's my first time presenting at an in-person conference, and I've been busy putting the finishing touches to my presentation on pre-arrival planning and early home support for internationally rescued dogs.
While social media has been a little quieter than usual, I've still been busy meeting some incredible dogs.
Yesterday I met Luna, a beautiful but very fearful ex-puppy farm dog. At three years old, she has never been on a walk in her life. The world is a very overwhelming place for her right now, but through her personalised behaviour programme we'll be helping her build confidence at a pace she feels comfortable with.
I also met the handsome Mortimer, an ex-Chinese meat trade survivor who arrived in the UK just last month. Although Luna and Mortimer come from very different backgrounds, they share many of the same fears as they begin learning how to navigate life in a safe and loving environment.
These are the dogs that remind me why I am so passionate about rescue dogs and why education, preparation and support matter so much. I can't wait to help both of them grow in confidence and discover that the world doesn't have to be such a scary place.
Wish me luck for the weekend!
