I have owned three dogs in my household, I’ve had small dogs such as a Jack Russel and now own a medium sized bread staffy/collie. My dog I currently own is from a rescue shelter, he was very aggressive and anxious when it came to other dogs and even at one time people. Me and my mum saw this was becoming quite an issue for him. We attended several dog training classes with a one to one trainer where we learned the signs of anxiousness in dogs , how to react and move the dog away from situations where they feel they have to fight or flight. I also learnt how a dog can feel if the walker is nervous to walk the dog and after the sessions I have no worries about walking my dog solo but before this was a big challenge. I owned my Jack Russel for 9 years in the family home, he was such a lovely dog but became elderly he was very slow, blind and struggled with incontinence, so I completely understand what it is like to have a senior dog but I still value the importance of company for them and even the occasional walk of their ability is a necessity. I used to feed a family members dog when they used to go away regularly, he required frequent medication where I learnt how to administer these drugs for him . I have no training when it comes to puppies at this current time however would love to own one in the future!
