Gentle Dog Walker Nervous & Energetic Pups Dane Valley

Overview

Estrid is a nervous dog. She has been attacked several times and panics if large dogs run towards her. I walk her on a long line and most of the time she is fine. She has a good recall, loves treats and praise. Very rarely the Husky in her comes out and she runs off, hence the long line. I rarely actually hold her but it's useful to have when you spot the signs she7s going to bolt.

I wouldn7t expect anyone to walk her without using the long line until they knew her very well. I want to try to build her confidence in meeting people and other dogs. She is not aggressive, used to love playing with other dogs and was generally a lively, happy girl on walks. I7m concerned she7s too dependant on myself and Dreyfus and need someone VERY patient.

She7s very loving and a bit cheeky once you get to know her. Initially I want both dogs walked separately. An hour each, once a week to start. Days and times are very flexible.

Dreyfus is very lively. Likes to meet other dogs but this is restricted by people not liking GSDs. He7s not a big GSD. Walks will on lead after initial excitement. Loves to sniff to the extreme! Likes to play with a ball. He has a good recall most of the time. Not aggressive, will run if confronted by grumbly or aggressive dog.

Loves to run. Very gentle nature most of the time but does like rough and tumble if known the other dog. Will be neutered early next year but has shown no problems. Not really food orientated unless treats are really special!!
