Loki
Australian Cattle Dog, who was rehomed due to an issue with Ian being terrified of him after they accidentally collided in the yard.
Welcome
I like to keep it real. My dogs are not perfect and I don't expect your dogs to be perfect either. We all have our issues, but just we have to remember that our dogs are not able to just sit down and tell us what is wrong. We have to try and look for the signals that they give us.
I'm here to help navigate all those signals and hopefully, there may be something from my adventures with my dogs that will help you with your dogs.
