Magggie's gone up a class!!

We rehomed Maggie our 2 year old Staffy x in October. She hadn't had any training or socialising and was very nervous and under weight when we got her. She came from the local rescue and was picked up as a stray. She used to stand up on her back legs and try and get any people or dogs when they came near.

It took till January to get her settled and trained enough to take her to the local training classes. Her training is comming along well in and out of class. She has learned not to scave food, her recall, retreiving her toys and giving them me back, not stealing Millies!! She used to bark at visitors and run away, now she loves everyone who comes round. She is a lot less nervous.

So they have decided she will be fine to go up into the middle class. She is still reactive at times to the dogs there and still has her mzzel on in class just in case. But has come a long way. So we'll see how she goes in the new class. She a cleaver girl!!

She is a clever girl, but you are the ones staying firm and focused, nice one

Pleased to hear she is doing so well.

That is great. seems she came along in leaps and bounds, but still, it can only get much better from here.

Congratulations to both of you! She's a clever girl & you've done a grand job!

keep up the good work and maggie keep up with the learning

It's so good when all of the time and effort pays off. Well done, all of you!

Well doen to you for doing so well with Maggi. Look forward to hearing more on your progress.

thats amazing to hear. i wish you all the best of luck

You've done a great job with her and she has more trust in you. Her confidence will build with time. Keep up the good work

Thanks guys. I'm so pleased I chose her out of all the dogs there. I really wanted to rehome a dog that needed some help to bring on. As you say it is very rewarding, watching them improve, besides it keeps me out of mischief!!!

She's such a sweet dog and it's very rewarding to see how far she has come. Wait and see how she is in another 6 months!! Obviously it's too early to say how happy she'll be around different dogs she'll be in the end, time willl tell I guess.

Here's a picture! On holiday in Northumberland
