Hi everyone we are from the UK and this is Russell. We rescued him at 9 months old, having been in kennels since he was just 4 months old...we were 'failed' dog walkers -walking him for months, fell in love with him and took him home!
We've had him for 4 months now and his favourite things to do are play fetch for hours, chill with his best friend Toby our grey cat, play tug for tricks (currently he has just learnt to roll over whilst OH was at the olympics, also knows sit, down, stay, high five (both hands), paw (both paws), stand (still perfecting this), leave, 'on your mat' and 'in your bed', and briefly knew crawl)....and cuddle on the sofa with his Mums - he is a big lap dog!
Hopefully we can meet others who are doing tricks and also get some support for Russell's dog unsurity which has developed- it's so good to see others out there helping their dogs through similar things. We have been to dog obedience and had a session with a trainer and are aiming to use completely positive methods with Russ to help him be OK with being around other dogs on a lead. (Will write more about this on the dog behaviour bit).
Good to meet everyone Russ, Helen, Sarah, Toby (cat), Yaz (cat)
