People reactive dogs are not the easiest of pets to own. They require lots of dedication, understanding and patience when it comes to their management as well as rehabilitation. With many hours of gradual desensitization and counterconditioning. These dogs can be rehabilitated and can start trusting and accepting people. They might never turn into social butterflies but with enough work these dogs can live a nearly normal life, hopefully free from stress and fear.
What a people reactive dog needs most is understanding from other people that they do not want to be touched, approached, spoken to, leaned over or even stared at for too long. They are not vicious when they bark or growl – they are scared and simply trying to communicate to strangers to KEEP AWAY. Even those people who are normally loved by dogs or are good with dogs and have tons of experience with them can end up being barked at by a people reactive dog – for those dogs absolutely everyone is a threat until they can be convinced that isn’t the case.
So if you come across a people reactive dog – whether you’re on your own or walking your dog – don’t stop to have a chat with the owner, don’t assume the dog will like you, don’t try to make friends, PLEASE give the dog and owner that all important space.

Please if you really love dogs, especially if you see a dog wearing yellow - ignore them.

Your understanding will make their day.

It’s not the first time & until someone builds the wall back up ( in never never land) it won’t be the last.
Made even trickier when we had 6 dogs with us

DOGS v ICE CUBES

23/06/2022

Edited to include a picture of Thor who was pts recently - 1 year old 😞
I am seeing so many desperate posts lately of rescue spaces being sought for dogs at risk of euthanasia - with rescues full to bursting many dogs are being pts at under a year old with what appears to be fairly minor behavioural issues or in some cases no issues at all. It's heartbreaking and I am wondering as behaviourists/trainers you are more inundated now than before with cases or if these dogs never get referrals for behavioural modification and owners just go straight for the rescue/euthanasia route? In either case wondering what we can do as dog lovers? The system seems at breaking point and whilst many vets are trying to buy time to find rescue spaces the inevitable is happening because none can be found (I feel so sorry for those poor vets having to euthanize perfectly healthy animals) :(

I have just read a post on another group I belong to that all about dogs.
I shall copy & paste it in a minute but in the mean time would you be kind enough to sign this petition please.

The Government should hold a review into the numbers of animals euthanised in the UK, and the reasons why, and identify a solution to protect animals from being unnecessarily euthanised.
