Volunteered For Walking Rescue Dogs
One of them I found was at R.A.T.S, the Re-homing Animal Telephone Service, which is a fairly local charity.
Then seeing as it had taken me so long to find the place I thought I may as well make the most of the time and asked to walk a another dog.
In email contact this week the lady Lisa had mentioned a dog called Kizzy who had been there a while and when I first enquired about her, straight after saying I wanted an easy dog the kennel hand Carol said she was far from easy. Anyway, Kizzy was then the 2nd dog she bought out for me to walk, a Rottweiler cross.
Shes 8 years old and has been in the kennels for 2 years. The Kennel lady had told me she doesnt like her head touched. When I bought her back and asked a couple of questions she told me that Kizzy had been known to bite in the past but that her behaviour had improved with training.
For me she walked fairly well. Didnt pull hard, but was often trying to edge in front.
She was obedient and would sit when asked at gates and also knew down, stay and come, all while on the lead.
I walked her for 1 hour 40 mins. The walks are in nice countryside area around some fields. I got good bout of much need exercise and more importantly so did the 2 dogs.
