Sticky Bunn has settled in so well that we feel he's been here forever! I am always telling people to be patient and take their time finding the right dog for them and their home and Sticky is proof that this works!
We have a very relaxed home and dogs are allowed anywhere they want to go as long as they are safe and they accept that must move if we need them to. Sticks if fine with this but to be honest he's so small he fits in anywhere!
His socialisation training is coming along fabulously; again he has just slotted into the work like he was born to do it. He's spent the first week being 'apprenticed' by Bailey (No, she didn't say 'You're Fired!) and today he took his first solo run with one of the Walk Clubs. I noticed to my delight that he stepped into Bailey's shoes as the confident policeman / group leader very successfully and also communicated with the other dogs very fluently.
Here's a pic of him at one of the clubs last week with new pals, Eric & Ridley
Check back soon for more updates!

Say Hello to... Sticky!
Sticky is the new addition to the DogPsyche UK Team! He is a rescued 18mth Labrador x Dachshund with a bit of collie somewhere in there too! He will be trained in the next few weeks / months to take on most of the behaviour assistance work so that Bailey can go into semi-retirement! Watch this space for updates on how he gets on.

New Assistant...
Exciting news! I have a new 'Assistant' joining me this weekend...
Bailey, my 8yr Great Dane, is getting a bit arthritic in her old age and needs to be semi-retired so I've been on a major search for a dog that can help take some of the workload from her of socialising other dogs (hard life... loads of walks a week, the best food money can buy, loads of play with friendly dogs... Tough eh?). The search has ended and I will be picking up my new 'Assistant' and member of our family this weekend...
Check back soon to meet him!
