I was partnered as a jacketed Canine Partner in 2015 where I used all the skills I learnt throughout puppy and assistance dog training. Sadly I injured my back, which has led to a progressive condition. For my wellbeing I retired early from working full time as a Canine Partner and I was rehomed to Laura. Here I am able to relax and manage my condition well with Laura. We joined the Dog Ambassador team in 2023, this allows me to do what I love best but at a suitable level and amount for my condition, it makes me very happy to have this balance in my life.
My favourite task is anything that involves tugging, so I love removing a jacket or jumper! When not at events I love a good snooze in the sunshine, blowing bubbles in water or scent games – is there anything better than using your nose to find your favourite toy?
Laura my handler has been with the Charity since 2020 when she joined covering some maternity leave – but we couldn’t let her go so we made her a permanent member of the team and then in 2023 she progressed into the Southern Team Leader role.
I’m so excited to show you some of my tugging skills soon!
