Hi

I'm Maria and this is Chevy.
Hello from Chevy and I DSCN2146

She is around 9 years old and we adopted her just over 18 months ago. She is arthritic in on hip and both elbows and as a result has hydrotherapy and physiotherapy. She has passed her Pets As Therapy assessment (although I am still trying to jump through the NHS hoops to be able to get into our assigned ward!) and loves everybody. Her favourite things are sleeping, eating, napping, walkies and afternoon snoozes.

She lives with me, my other half, 5 guinea pigs and a tank of tropical fish. She is our first dog and has been a pleasure to own.

Thank you for the warm welcome and nice comments about Chevy Big Grin

Kathy - If you read through all the assessment/volunteer info before you send off for the application, it details what will be expected of you and the dog and I found it really useful to work through it all to work out what we needed to work on. But we had to demonstrate a good LLW, a small pull was allowed but not constant pulling, she got her ears/feet/tail handled, had to react well to a loud, close noise (a large item being dropped) - she was allowed to look but couldn't show signs of fear or aggression. No snatching of treats/licking/pawing/jumping up and showing that they are happy to settle while you hold a conversation are the things I can remember off the top of my head. It took a while for me to train a solid LLW and to teach her not to snatch treats and I had everyone I knew making her take treats gently and patting her/dropping stuff etc to make sure that she really was bomb proof wherever we were. We did our assessment in the town center so there were lots of distractions, noises, smells etc so I practiced keeping her attention and getting her walking on a loose lead (the lead has to be on collar, no harnesses) and only applied when I felt we were ready. Good luck if you do decide to go for it Smile

I know this is a cliche but she IS absolutely gorgeous. I love her colouring. Amazing that she's going to have a proper job soon - I want to hear everything.
