Mila arrived today for a 3‑night stay.
Mila is a beautiful Kelpie x Wolfhound rescue with a gentle soul and a nervous start in life. She’s wary of new people, especially tall men, and she showed that the moment her mum left.
With dogs like Mila, we don’t jump into rules or pressure.
We offer space, calm energy, choice, lots of reassurance and a few pieces of chicken breast. We let her explore at her pace, copy Asher, and settle into our routine of morning walk → rest → afternoon enrichment walk and play → dinner → bed.
Within a couple of hours she was choosing connection, approaching me, relaxing beside us, and even walking up to Kyle on her own (tall‑man fear and all).
Rescue dogs don’t need to “obey” first.
They need to feel safe first and I want to do a big shout out to her amazing owner who has done a wonderful job rescuing Mila, helping her to feel this safety every day, training her so well and giving her the most beautiful life this dog deserves.
If you need calm, experienced dog‑sitting in South East QLD, including for nervous or sensitive dogs, DM me the word “SITTING” and I will send you further information.
