For anyone wanting to learn why I always recommend natural raw feeding. This course is a must.

Everything you need to know about feeding your dog yourself. Once we show you WHY you need to make the leap, we discuss the various options available, including how to choose a good premade to how to make it yourself, be it fresh or lightly cooked. All your questions will be answered over the 3.5hrs

It may not be the ideal but yes totally agree.

Was it bad info?
"They said this dog was cat and dog friendly!"
➡️They may be good around dogs and cats.
That doesn't mean a newly adopted dog needs to or should meet your dog or cat right away.
They've been through a lot and it would be a rare dog indeed that has been through an adoption/rescue situation and has absolutely no stress surging through them.

➡️Some may be in "survival" mode.
This can mean they will bond very heavily to someone that is now providing resources. Resources can cause some very big problems in the animal world.

➡️Territorial issues.
Your new animals may really not want this "intruder" here either.
They can make those feelings very clear and that can cause more stress for everyone.

➡️You've rushed into it.
Everyone's excited.
It's natural to want everyone to get along, but that doesn't mean they should meet just yet.
If you've rushed this, you'll now know why taking it slow is a very good idea.

So was it bad information you were given?
Not deliberately.
We don't live in a world where we can know everything about a dog's past life.
Yes, they may have been tested with dogs and cats.
They may have passed that test beautifully, but again there are a hundred reasons why they were ok in that environment and may be struggling in your home now.

Rescues are doing it tough.
The strain on everyone is evident, there are just too many dogs needing homes and not enough room at the "inn".
Rehoming demand is gaining momentum and that momentum is getting faster and faster.

It’s difficult for them to keep up and for many, it’s becoming impossible.

I can honestly say I love what I do, not just the boarding etc but helping both dogs and people in anyway I can whether that’s advice, practical help, helping potential new owners to hopefully find the right dog or basically anything dog. I am constantly following up on the latest research and practicing it and every day is fascinating and teaches you something new. I guess I’m very lucky 😊
