I'm on holiday!, returning end of July!
All training and daycare will continue August. Book now.
Im missing Barrio, hoping he uses this time to recharge also. Then back to rehabilitation when i return.
This video was after our last session, returning back to the kennels and you can see him quite relaxed and confident, not 100% but progress!!
See you all again soon. ๐ถ๐
UNCUT video of Barrio ๐ถ๐ you can see his fear and how hard it is to do simple tasks like walking on a lead. But he is getting better.
After this video we did another 30 mins walk and when he came back he was like a new dog ๐ถ๐คฉ
He is definitely making progress step by step but he really struggles when people walk nearby as you can see in the video.
I will be working with him again tomorrow so wish him the best.

๐ถ Barrio's 2nd walk ๐โ๐ฆบ and he is making good progress! 1 min into the video you can see him walking his fastest.
I am really happy with Barrio's progress, he walk further than last time and at a much better pace. He still needs his breaks to not get overwhelmed but we got through it!
I have to pull him quite a bit at the beginning but once he got moving he kept pace fod a while then got nervous again so took some convining to get moving once more.
I have high hopes for tomorrow when we try again and hopefully he does just as good or even better. Wish us luck once more ๐ค๐ถ

Big Update for Barrio! ๐ถ๐
Barrio had his 1st walk ever! โบ๏ธ๐โ๐ฆบ
After weeks and months of small visits, I have managed to gain his trust to a conformable level. Last week i got him on a harness and after 30 mins of trying I eventually carried him out of the shelter to go explore the outside world once again.
This video shows him wearing his harness and then the 2nd part is us taking a break in the shade OUTSIDE the walls and cages of the shelter. It was overwhelming for him but we managed and eventually walked back to the grounds and his cage. He was happy to be back as the shelter is all he understands at the moment.
But it was a huge milestone and a success.
I will be seeing him again tomorrow and hopefully going on another walk. Wish us luck.
P. S. Livepaws do a great job of looking after him and all the other dogs but Barrio is the only dog there that is this traumatised and needs all the help he can get. I feel honoured that he trusts me.

Barrio needs a foster ๐ถ๐ฆ๐
I've been working with Barrio again today and he is so gentle and sweet. However, he needs a home environment to come out of his shell.
Today we worked on him receiving love and attention and wearing a lead. He did well and is showing improvement.
He does not show any aggression, he does not franticly panic, but he will try and avoid the situation and go in a corner.
This is why a home environment would allow him to recover mentally and let him grow out of his protective shell.
Please consider fostering to help him on his needed journey, otherwise he will not progress into a stage ready for adoption.
I will help with free advice and training to anyone who fosters or adopts Barrio (the gentle lion) (he reminds me of a gentle lion so thats his new knickname ๐๐ฆ)

๐ถ Meet Peluche & Bachata ๐ถ
They were found on the street and handed in to Live PAWS Rescued Animals Tenerife. I met them last week for the first time and this was their reaction ๐ถ๐ถโค๏ธ.
They are gentle and sweet, i think these dogs will easily settle in with a new family and seem to be really great dogs who just want love and attention. A+ quality if you ask me ๐ถ๐

๐ถ Simba working on his house command ๐๐ก he loves leaning new tricks with his owners #dogtraining #house #simba
It was very windy and he wasn't distracted so he did really well ๐ถ๐
Morena and Barrio ๐ถ๐๐ถ update: FREE TRAINING WEEKLY by me, if fostered or adopted ๐๐ถ.
Barrio is making slow progress but is very gentle and would really benefit from being in a foster home to speed up his mental recovery. He has zero aggression so would suit any home im sure, i would visit him and advise the foster family for free, on a weekly basis. He just needs time in a home i believe, even if it's a couple of weeks. #barrio #gentledog #foster
Morena has comepletely come our of her shell and now has lots of personality and enjoys being petted. She used to be afraid and would run and hide, look at her now! I believe she is ready for a foster or forever home, just like her sister Josie got (who has excelled since finding her forever home). Morena is so beautiful with an amazing short coat with an incredible color, perfect for those who like to take photos, she could be a model ๐ถ๐ she is that stunning. I would also personally love to see her in a home so i offer the same as for Barrio, free weekly visits and training to ensure a smooth transition into homelife. Please consider fostering or telling a friend who can help ๐๐ถ

Morena ๐ถ๐๐ i took this funny video of her yesterday, she has moved in with Barrio and Noa ๐ถ๐ถ which suits her well.
She is so beautiful, funny, still timid, but no longer scared.
She is Josie's sister if you remember Josie (now Jazzy) from my previous videos. Jazzy is doing amazingly with her forever family too.
Would love to see Morena adopted or foster homed so she can come out of her shell like Jazzy did!
More videos on Barrio soon.

ROUTINES & PLANNING AHEAD ๐ถ๐ - quick tips:
To get good results OUTSIDE you should teach and practice INSIDE, where there are less distractions. ๐ถ Once they understand the commands, take it to the next stage by repeating them outside.
I always recommended that all members of the family learn to handle and give commands, especially the children.
These videos show the benefits of both ๐ถ๐ฉโ๐ง๐. Great work Olivia & Bena ๐

๐๐ถMorena part 2 & 3 ๐ถ๐
Morena is making steady progress and is learning to trust, little by little, poco a poco ๐. I want her to make the decision to come towards me, this will build the trust quicker and bring out her own confidence. I can see in her eyes that she is handling the situation well, Josie (Morena's sister) was much more frightened at this point. I have high hopes for Morena. Josie is doing amazing so I'm hoping Morena can do it too! ๐ถ๐ค
Thank you for all your support and comments ๐ Morena sends her love

Daily dog walks with Daisy & Lily ๐ถ๐
#dogwalking #daily #puppies
Yesterday we walked along the beach front and they loved it. Their owner is back at work so they now need daily walks for company and to relieve themselves. I'd be happy to take yours walking too ๐โ๐ฆบ๐ฉ๐ฆฎ๐๐ถโโ๏ธ#contactme
Just another Josie Update: she is loving life. ๐๐๐๐ฅณ Are you proud of her?
She has come out of her shell and can't wait to play with the other doggies. Her she is meeting new dogs for the first time and having an amazing time, sprinting, playing, swimming and socialising like every dog should๐๐ถ
Good girl Josie, ๐คyou'll get your forever home soon ๐ค๐ #dogtraining #mascots #josie
Cath and Voulzy ๐ซ๐ท๐ฉ showing amazing progress! #dogtraining
๐Voulzy is always full of energy, so it took hard work to get him to listen and behave. He just wanted to play, bite, bark and chase his owner Cath, which left her with bruised arms ๐ข but since our weekly training session, Cath has seen an amazing transformation and now has no bruises and has so much more control. "Walks are now fun again!"
Please message me for any advice or setup a training session. ๐๐

-Training can start at any age! ๐ถ๐๐ฆฎ
-Teach your kids how to train too! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ถ
-This creates mutual respect for all โ๏ธ๐
-Training early will allow you to mold your dog's behaviour & prevent bad habbits๐ค
-It's is easier to ask for good behaviours, rather than trying to stop a bad behaviour! ๐ค๐ถ๐ So plan ahead!

Harley๐ถ learnt to swim this week! ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Last week, Harley really wasn't keen or sure about the water, but after some direction and encouragement from Dave this week, he now confidently swims on command!
Some dogs like Harley are afraid of the ocean because it is unpredictable and can be very loud. So taking your dog to a swimming pool is the perfect way to introduce them to the water for success.
Harley was extremely anxious when we first met him. Harley was a RESCUE adopted from K9 by Dave.

Josie had her 1st swim ๐
๐โโ๏ธ๐ถ๐
This foster dog had her best day ever! ๐ Surrounded by dogs and people that she trusts, she was able to relax, be a dog and act like a dog, which unfortunately is quite rare.
It is lovely and amazing to see her this happy with her tail wagging and she even had a swim!
Please watch my older videos about Josie to see how far she has come ๐๐ถ
Josie is ready for adoption or Foster home. #adopt #josie #rehabilitated ๐ค
