Very kind lady. And great energy. I was a bit disappointed when I gave her a heads up that when she initially went to the house Maple would bark. And that she needed to get upstairs for her to smell her feet to ease her nerves. She seemed okay with it because of the body language Maple had given her in her first interaction with her. But when it came to it Maples bark scared her to the point she didn't feel safe and left the house (understandable) but left my upstairs door open causing Maple to freak out every opportunity she saw someone passing the house. Which then had caused an issue with my landlord and my neighbor because she was barking for about an hour before I was able to close that door. So I was a bit disappointed that I chose someone that had apparently dealt with big dogs. And my dog is a medium dog with a big dog bark that scared her away.

Growing up with Refilwe, her innate connection with dogs was unmistakably profound. Even as a child, her maternal instincts, patience, and deep care for all living beings were evident, but her bond with dogs stood out remarkably. Refilwe’s approach to understanding and disciplining dogs mirrors the gentlest aspects of parenting, focusing on empathy, respect, and clear communication. Her ability to forge deep emotional connections with these animals, coupled with her dedication to their well-being, has always amazed me. As her sibling, witnessing her natural ability to nurture and positively influence every dog she encounters is both inspiring and a source of immense pride. ---
