Felicia′s Story

FELICIA IS CURRENTLY IN UK AND SHE IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Felicia is in UK for the last 2 years but her family decided to rehome her as the relationship between the resident dog and Felicia has broken down. Felicia is not to blame for this breakdown.

The two dogs were complete opposites and the resident dog has never made Felicia completely welcome. Early fights were because the dogs couldn't share anything so all toys had to be removed. Later some toys were reintroduced in the garden only. The family realized that Felicia is unhappy with the present situation. They describe her as a very gentle, kind, loving dog and they state that none of this is Felicia's fault.

FELICIA'S WALKING ROUTINE

WITH HER WALKER

She is booked in 3x every week with a professional walker. These walks are high energy, outdoor activity all weather cross coutry walks. These are group dog walks.These are Felicia's happiest times.

Felicia is collected from the house and she is always very excited to go. She leaves the house calmly. She travels in a crate in the mini bus and sometimes she shares her crate. She is always perfectly behaved on her walks with the walker.

Felicia loves her walker and she has bonded brilliantly with all the other dogs on her group walk. There are different dogs on different walks and sometimes new dogs join in. Felicia is always perfectly behaved on her walks with the walker.

Felicia also has lead walks with her walker. The walker uses a collar and lead. Felicia is very good on the lead with her walker again mostly in a group of dogs.

Felicia has also joined the walker for day care a few times both with and without the resident dog. Felicia is always perfectly behaved.

The family gets regular photos and videos of Felicia on these walks and they have also joined in with the walks so they know that Felicia's behaviour is great when she is out.

When her current family take Felicia out she gets very over excited, and she pulls so they use a no pull harness with a front attachment. She is unsettled walking along the road and when she sees other dogs, but she is friendly to people although she wants to jump up so she is not able to meet them. When out in the parks they use a long line. She is better walking back home unless she sees another dog. When she is in the car with them she is unsettled as well, so the family strongly believes that they are doing something wrong on their walks with Felicia, as with the dog walker her behavior is perfect.

Sometimes the family drive to lead walk her for variety, harbours, nature reserve, public areas through fields, woodland. Felicia prefers to be off lead.

Felicia is a very good eater. She never refusing a meal. She is feeding separate from the residence dog.
