Its Louisa (auntielou!!) here, Svens wife(for my sins!!), I have finally registered onto the forum, hooooray!
Kris Glover (a very good friend and pet behaviourist I know) is currently looking after a dog for 10 days and in that time try and get it a home as the owners wanted the dog put down because it jumped up(yes i know!!) and was just just showing typical collie traits in a dog who is both mentally AND physically under stimulated! He bascially is just a gorgeous collie who needed 'a job', the poor boy was redundant and bored!!
Here is a write up that Kris has done on him. She has already told me the amazing change she has seen in him in just 2 days!
"Hello my name is Hector and I am a 1 year old neutered male Border Collie (of sorts). I am micro chipped and fully vaccinated. I am great with dogs and would be very happy if I could share a home with other dogs. I like all people too, although am a bit worried about my collar being touched although am fine about having it touched if treats are involved. I am a bit worried by traffic so would need some help with getting over this fear both inside and outside of the car. I have lots of energy so will need good walks and also some assistance in understanding the recall command. I just love playing ball (as you can see from my photo) and would play all day given the chance. I can be left at home alone but don’t like to be left for too long as I get bored quite quickly. I would make a good agility / ‘search and rescue’ / flyball dog and have lots to offer if someone would just give me a chance to show how good I am." Come on guys lets get this lovely boy a home ey?!
I'm presumng fine will check with kris. She is doing work with him for the whole 10 days if I owned my property and wasn't just about to kick start my Galen myotherapy I'd have him in a shot!! X
