Description
Meet Dottie, the most lovable collie on the planet.
Dottie is a very special dog looking for very special humans. Dots came to us a few months ago and has needed a lot of help. She was fear reactive to everything... stranger, dogs, livestock, bikes - you name it, she'd bark at it!
While with us, Dottie has improved immensely, we have worked with a wonderful behaviourist named Doreen who has helped Dottie with her confidence and taught her all the skills to be able to cope with new experiences and life itself. Dottie will need humans who have an extra big heart who are willing to put the time and effort into her training and socialising. Once she knows you, she is the most affectionate, silly girl and she's stolen every single one of our hearts.
While being with us, Dot Dot has shown that she dislikes most other dogs (Except Freddie - her bestie and partner in crime) so would prefer a home where she is the only pet. She has lived with children before and is great with them but we have never introduced her to a new child that she doesn't know. For this reason we believe older children would be best if not an adult only home.
Dottie would be best suited to a home with people who know the Collie breed and have experience with Positive reinforcement based training. Although she has progressed so much, this sweet girl will need people who are willing to continue to help her improve. A home in a quiet area with a nice secure garden to chase after her favourite thing... a tennis ball!
