The life of rescues is always bright, right, @petitfrere0412 ? Choosing rescues is a challenge. Most of the times you don't know their true self, hidden beneath trauma and/or neglect. We ended up with a reactive dog that really pushed us to the limit (the black fluff ❤️). After one year of training, we can finally start enjoying walks, but it's still hard. You can't fully relax, you always have to keep an eye on everything and everyone. But it's totally worth it. #dogsofmastodon #dogs @dogs

We know that feeling. The animal shelter here always asks us when there are strange dogs. Tapis, who is also extremely reactive (although it has gotten a little better after 5 years), or Éclaire, who was extremely fearful at first and sometimes still is, no one knows when. It's good that there are people who don't give up and don't despair. 👍
@3instahunde it was difficult not to give up, I admit. But I found an amazing school and trainers that nailed the issue and are helping us to fix it. I couldn't have done it without them. Good trainers are a bless.
