Anyone have time and space for kitten fostering?

Clients often tell me ‘but he won’t bring the ball back’. Yes, you can have boundaries but play with dogs often needs owners to watch & listen to what your dog wants from the game.

🐶 Frisbee isn’t a retriever. Kill is the key! Also the more I beg, the more he ignores me but the more I ignore him, the more he begs me to play. 🎾

It’s taken months for us to get to a point where small steps of training the retrieve are coming together for us. He’s super toy driven, super kill focused, super clever and super cute. All great qualities for training but I have to be smart about it. This lad really makes me think 🤔

Dogs aren’t stubborn. You just need to work out what motivates your dog, what makes them tick? ✅

A minute of kitten mayhem. It’s amazing what a great toy a cardboard box can make. These guys are now 8 weeks and so much fun.

Part of the fostering deal is that you have to let them go. Some litters are harder than others. This girl ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Oh Ricky, if only I had the space for you.

Please share these beautiful dogs who are at the amazing rescue Guinness and Wiggle and Beaker the cat came from.

Another show, another qualifier for Jellybean and Frisbee

I think it was the amazing Ian Dunbar that said ‘genetics loads the gun, the environment fires it’.

Frisbee comes from an amazing breeder Marianne Raister Dunne, with proven dogs of spectacular temperament. He is terrier through and through (you should see his drive to kill a toy). She also has a cat.

Both of these factors mean he’s been set up for the best possible result for what I need from a puppy. Drive to work/train/engage but one who can live with small creatures and be trustworthy around them.

Here he is at 7 months in his first role as foster brother to my latest hand reared litter.

At 5 weeks old, this kitten is already clearly communicating to another species, and Jellybean is communicating right back.

When a cat puffs up and stiffens their tail it’s an attempt to appear bigger and more intimidating because they are scared. And did you know when a dog raises their hackles and tail erect, it’s for exactly the same reason?

Jellybean’s paw lift is a pacifying gesture of ‘do no harm’. His tail is down, unsure of the cat’s intentions and means to say ‘I’m ok if you’re ok’.

Look at JB’s face and eyebrows. He’s giving the cat the side eye. This is a space inducing gesture which indicates to the approaching creature to back off.

Our animals communicate all the time. We need to learn to listen.

If you have used my services, I would really appreciate if you could leave me a Google Review?

I’m so crap at asking folk but someone recent refused to hire me on the basis that I have been in business 21 years but only have 11 google reviews 🤦🏼‍♀️
