Yes K9

One more Izzy update, we went to the vet today to have a proper look at what could be going on…
Turns out a lot and she’s really been masking it well! Issues with her hips and lower back!

With the medication working so well and her looking really good with them, they want to keep trying her with them for now, so hopefully it means we have a bit longer to be with her!
Unfortunately, it does also mean that the poor old lady is no longer allowed to swim as it could cause more damage than it’s worth! 🥲

Normally I want the owners/fosters with me for training their dogs, however, since Kia is living in kennels and rescue staff are busy with so many other dogs, it means I may have the odd time where I do training with Kia alone
Like today!
It actually gave me a very good idea of what she’s like when first having to learn to trust someone still so new to her. When I picked her up, she was very unsure about coming near me, which is understandable! We sat for a few minutes just allowing her to come closer and try to suss me out. As soon as she discovered that I had treats, she was ready to go😂
When I last saw her, she was also alert to a lot of things going on around her, like people, dogs, sheep etc. Today, she was actually very relaxed about it all and very responsive when we were working! I don’t expect it to be this easy every week, however that was amazing for week one!
Very proud of her, and can absolutely see her in a home with someone who is dedicated to her ❤️
