After 10 long days at training, and 10 long quiet nights at home, Wilma has finally returned! Training has helped so much, and we both believe it was worth every penny, not just for her safety but her overall quality of life. I’m so proud of my baby girl, she made such a good bond with her trainer and I am so glad to have her home again (photos from trainer from her time there)
Really missing my baby, so I decided to make this today (I’m a watercolor and tye-dye art student so whenever I miss Girl Wilma she ends up being my main subject.) Hope it’s okay to post this!
Finally got updates from her trainer. Apparently she’s made friends (which she’s never had interest in other dogs before.) she’s doing well and is apparently a great treat catcher, and they said she is quite photogenic 😭😂 just wanted to share the cuteness!
It’s official. We’ve sent Wilma off to board training today, around 3ish. I am shocked at how heartbroken I was leaving her. I’m curious, have any of you done this for your kids? We don’t know her past, or what she’s been through, but my partner and I know we cannot fully give her what she needs training wise without assistance from a trainer.
Of course there was the matter of doing board or not. Again we don’t know what she’s been through to cause her behavioral issues, but we know that there is a lot to deal with all on our own. I guess we chose board so she could have the best chance? I don’t know if that’s even studied to be correct.
What did y’all do? Home training, send them away, personal classes? I’m just worried I made the wrong choice doing this with her.
(Also I know it’s probably just my anxiety, but they’re such smart and emotional dogs and she already has separation issues so I’m worried how she’ll be when we bring her home.)
