Behind the scenes of a dog behaviour specialists home - lots of work ongoing too! We've just welcomed another rescue in need into our family and very proud of how ALL our current dogs have welcomed him in.
Adam writes...
"Before River met Jen, she had scarce few friends and was heavily under socialised, living permanently behind several dog gates to segregate her from the other dog in the household. I was reluctant to introduce her to any potential new friends through fear of reaction and not knowing the best course of action for her.
Jens approach was a very steady calculated plan to introduce River to the possibility of canine companions - nothing was ever rushed, and more importantly, no greetings or work around dogs was ever forced onto River - she was never put into a position where she was made to accept any new dogs; as that would have undone the entire process and affected their relationships to each other, or others. The results were always organic and led by her but slowly but surely she started to accept and not only that - LOVE having other dogs in her life, to the point now, where she is living with several dogs without any gates at all and goes on group walks with a myriad of other dogs who all seem to love her being around.
The girl I have now is unrecognisable compared to how she was before Jen came into her life, and enriched it socially. River welcomed our newest rescue in and was integrated fully within a week. This is a massive shift for River and shows she truly likes dog company now.
A huge thank you from River for giving her the opportunity to have dog family & friends 🐾"
