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!! Smile

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 Smile
