Jessie is living at the Mayhew Animal Home in London. I met her a couple of weeks ago when I was teaching a short workshop at the shelter. Jessie is desperately in need – as are so many dogs in the UK – as she is becoming increasingly stressed in kennels. She has had little training but is a very, very willing student and a very fast learner. She would make the perfect companion for anyone who leads an active lifestyle but she does need help to develop confidence around other dogs. She loved TTouch and when I put a body wrap on her she really settled. She also picked up the skill of beautiful sitting and also doing a hand touch greeting with clicker training and plenty of fresh chicken!!!! She is such a lovely dog but would need to be on foster/homed with someone who has good experience with dogs and who uses positive, reward based training to further her education. If I did not already own five dogs I would not hesitate to foster her myself. Jessie is probably suited to someone who does not currently own a dog as she can be a little unsure in the company of other dogs.

If you can help Jessie, even on a temporary foster basis, please contact the *Mayhew Animal Home.
