Large dog play date preston area Please
Hi,
I'm hopinh some people might be able to help me out. I' looking to set up some play dates with large breed dogs in the preston area. For my Akita Holly.
Holly is a rescue and was abused so didn't like people or anyone! We've worked relly hard at this and she likes more people now and all dogs.
However her recall is shocking so we have to keep her on a lead now. Which is hard for letting her socilaise with other peoples dogs. I don't want her to regress.
The other problem I have is the majority of the local dog owners now get funny with her wanting to play with their dogs as she is a 50kg akita. She's really friendly and has never bitten a dog. Although she has been bitten by several jack russels. All she did was sit on them after they bit her (more then once) to be fair can't blame her! But as she's an akita she is obviously going to eat their dog! (she woldn't!)
I have a really large area upstairs at my unit (i think about 1000sq ft) That could conduct some play dates. While working on her recall. or could meet for a walk in a park!
Which we are using this area for which is working!
Let me know if anyone is interested in helping us out!
