More often than not, the dogs i meet are quite nervous - particularly of strangers, strange places and this wet stuff they suddenly find themselves swimming in!
Take Sadie, for example, when i met her last year, she was frightened to death of meeting anyone new, being in strange surroundings, and doing anything out of the ordinary - her owner had warned me of that before, so i knew to expect a few nerves during her first session.
After a few weeks, Sadie began to warm up to it all, beginning to wag her tail when she saw me, and even walking through Kirkham with a little more enthusiasm!
A month or so later, and she shocked her owner by taking treats from me after her swim!
Now, she loves her visits so much, she positively drags her mum to the door every week - as you can see below! She is also overcoming her fears kd strange places, and some people are looking less threatening than before!
We spent time giving Sadie the space she needed to overcome her fears while we worked to rectify her leg issues - working calmly and gently is what we’re best known for, and we manage to help so many dogs overcome a variety of land-based fears along with water based ones!
