Bale's Buddies Therapy Dogs Community Outreach

Some lovely relaxed play with Alphi, Bale and Kyah. Alphi is not used to socialising with others apart from the dogs in his own household and has got along extremely well for his first time!

In his element!

Milly's unorthodox training seems to work!

Far too hot for this! Bale never knows exactly where his backside is at all times!

Ralphie is so happy!

Back with this little tickle monster today. Watch his legs!!

Alphi really is a chilled dude! I think he shakes my hand out of embarrassment or pity!

Turn up the sound! A contented Alphi dreaming happily away after a walk, brush and play!

Bale and Milly

As a treat, Bale and Milly did some playful obedience training today. They both loved it!

'Bale play with Harry?'

Harry loves the stimulation of physical contact with Bale. Therapy dogs should not as a rule be 'rough' and 'paw' at people but as it is one of Harry's favourite exercises, we are being a little lenient at the moment. Notice how Bale is sitting calmly until he hears the 'right' combination of language from Harry. Harry needs to learn how to address Bale directly instead of asking Alison or myself. Please excuse the state of the house, we all had the flu!

Harry's language is also improving significantly!! Amazing considering a few years ago we thought he may never verbally communicate ❤️❤️❤️
