This stunning 16 month old male Tibetan Mastiff, Bodhi, travelled 2 hours to come and work on calm, neutral socialisation around unfamiliar dogs yesterday.
Correct socialisation isn’t about making friends with every dog you meet it’s about confidence, engagement, and learning to make good decisions around distractions.
Bodhi did brilliantly and showed exactly why this kind of training is so valuable.

What stood out just as much as Bodhi’s progress was the work his owner, Gaz, has clearly put in behind the scenes. As someone with a lot of experience working with powerful guarding breeds, I can’t compliment Gaz enough.
Tibetan Mastiffs aren’t a breed that develops this level of composure, engagement, and willingness to work by accident.
The time, consistency, and dedication he’s invested in Bodhi are obvious to see, and it was a pleasure to witness.

Credit where it’s due!! 👏🏽👍🏽 Great dogs are built through great ownership, and Gaz deserves a huge amount of recognition for the dog Bodhi is becoming. Looking forward to continuing our journey. 😎👊🏼🐾

🚨 With our bipolar weather, thought I’d make a post ☀️♨️ -

Missing a walk or two will not harm your dog,
Early morning walks or late night walks are also an option.

This week we opened our home to Rio after rescuing him, and what an amazing boy he has been ❤️
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SHARES !!
(Sorry for everybody who enquired and didn’t get a response)

Watching him settle in, grow in confidence, and show his loving personality has been so special these last few days.
However the best news of all is that Rio has now found his forever home 🐾🏡😎❤️

He will be joining the most amazing family of truly dog-mad owners, where he’ll become their 8th dog! 😍
I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better ending for him. I know without a doubt that Rio will be loved, spoiled, and cared for, for the rest of his life.

Good luck in your new home, Rio, you absolutely deserve it 💙
Good luck with you’re new dog Lucy & Satt, thank you for travelling almost 2 hours down to me today, absolutely lovely meeting you both and your amazing dog Precious 🐾❤️

POTENTIAL PERFECT HOME & OWNERS FOUND !!!

🚨 PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨

Last night I collected this beautiful 7 month old German Shepherd puppy after a client expressing her concerns for her neighbours dog.
After seeing him advertised on Facebook for free and basically first come first serve.

As a GSD lover, I dropped everything and went to get him because the thought of where he could’ve ended up honestly didn’t sit right with me.

He’s now safe, warm, fed, and finally getting some love ❤️

Despite the rough start, he is an absolutely stunning boy with so much potential. He’s still just a baby, eager to learn, and deserves a stable, experienced home that understands the breed and will give him the time, training, and commitment he needs.

- 7 months old
- German Shepherd male
- Safe with me for now
- Looking for the RIGHT home, not the quickest one

This will NOT be a “first come first served” situation.
I want to make sure he never ends up failed again.

If you genuinely think you could offer this boy the loving forever home he deserves, please message me with some information about yourself, your experience with shepherds, and the kind of home/lifestyle you can offer.

Please share to help this gorgeous boy find his people 🙏
