LOTTIE & SKY
Sean & Riley both like to get involved with the home boarding and walking side of the services and really help to make some of our guests feel content in their own ways .
Sean is looking to become a dog trainer when he leaves school and has already attended various courses and workshops and often helps in classes with demos and handling the resident dogs where needed.
Sean and Lottie have taken part in clicker training workshop, various dog shows, canine hoopers and Craig Ogilvie workshops, his gentle and kind handling skills and a good understanding of dogs are an asset with all the different dogs here.
Riley takes a bit more of a backseat with training and handling but does love to sit with the dogs of an evening and enjoys some of the walks we get to experience.
Lottie is a 6 year old Rottweiler and Sky is a 4 year old Jug, Lottie has been a resident dog since she was 8 wks old, she enjoys her walks with her friends but also likes to chill out on the sofa as much as possible.
Sky became a resident dog in 2017 and has changed so much in that time, she loves to see visitors and meet new friends.
Both Lottie & Sky help other dogs gain their confidence and help teach the youngsters how to read body language in many of our services
