I collected this beautiful girl who was so happy to have a play and get treats …however when we got to the car she was very unsure…but with treats and the super help from Sean in the pound we reassured her and she settled quickly.
Delivered her to a fantastic foster family and before I left she had investigated everywhere and her tail was wagging and she was a different dog much more relaxed….you can see from the pictures that this girls tail is doing all the talking.
Just love her pink nose!!!!!!!
This is the difference foster families make…from terrified and shaking in the pound to relaxed and happy
IMG_1727.JPGHey Miss Jazzy Pink Nose….wow I knew you felt safe from the moment I left you but your photos are just fabulous..well done
Jazz arrived 4 days ago. Terrified and lost. She accepted me and became very attached very quickly. What I noticed most though was she was happy to meet my children. Greeting them immediately and is so patient and confident with them despite the noise and sudden moves they make. With adults its a different story though. She is cautious and frightened of anyone new coming to to the house and can go from sitting happily letting them pet her to barking at them. Though with a bit of patience and confidence she relaxes but it will be interesting to see how she greets the same people on their return in a few days. I’ve had her off the lead in a local dog park and she was very good on recall and the following day I let her off in a huge field close to us and she was fine. Not quite as responsive but still came back. She did run off to see some other dogs out walking but I was confident she was watching me. On the lead she is pretty good too. Pulls a little but responds to a gentle pull and "wait". It’s still very early days and she is so eager to learn and please. Has learnt to sit and get into bed on command. She is a FANTASTIC dog with the kids. Minds them and watches them. She’s needing a lot of reassurance and responding well to it.
image.jpgimage.jpgJazz is a week with us now and I have to say a different dog. She’s learning to trust people coming into the house. Barks a little but accepts them and is all wiggly bodied and waggy tail greeting them. She loves her walks and could actually do with some lead training as she lunges forward a lot but she’s learning and listens. She has lots of energy and needs to get rid of it. She’s developing into a really funny character, she’s a chancer and will rob food off the table if given the opportunity but if caught she looks very guilty and tries to make amends by looking very cute. She adores children and loves walking to school with us in the morning. She wants to say hello to all the children. Overall she’s still very much a pup and learning so fast. She loves people and likes to sleep on the landing outside our bedrooms and does her rounds of the rooms to check everyone before she settles and sleeps soundly all night.
image.jpgOMG what more could anyone ask for she is a real Nannie dog Bless her dealing with all her own insecurities and yet minding a household she just moved into.
Dogs are so forgiving and giving…….. humans need to learn a few lessons from them and the world would be a better place. jazz just goes from strength to strength. We got some advice from Jetta Reis from makeyourdogsmile.net to help Jazz with her bit of anxiety about new people coming into the house. In the past she barked fearfully whereas using Jetta’s tips today Jazz coped with someone coming in and was waging her tail in no time badgering them for treats. typical Labrador. Her recall when out walking is excellent. She responds to a simple command and will stop whatever she’s doing and comes straight back. She’s relaxing and taking part in games of chasing with our own dog and is happy sniffing and chasing around. If she does get stressed she voluntarily comes back to me and looks for reassurance. She responds well to this and is easily distracted and redirected forgetting about what it was that worried her. She is just fantastic with our children, looking after them and following them around and also checking on them during the night. She is a truly great dog. I’m amazed daily by her resilience and trust and her ability to change her reactions and behaviours. She has grown and developed so much in such a short period and I really believe she’s far from finished……Hi, I was just wondering where you are based, jazz looks lovely and I may have a home for her.
ThanksJazz is a real gem. She is so eager to learn and please and loves loves loves her walks off the lead. She gallops around chasing birds, greeting other dogs and wagging the tail at other dog walkers sussing out if they have a treat or not, if they do they get the full on cute act. She’s really good at coming back when called. In the house she is wherever we are, walking around from room to room smiling up at me, no I’m not mad!! Jazz smiles.
Delighted to hear all good reports Kara….Jazzy is doing so brilliant ….is she still your best baby sitter
Hi Audrey. Jazz still doing great. She’s fab with children and better every day with new people. She’ll approach people out walking and wag the tail. She wants to be friends with everyone and literaly smiles at people. She’ll make a great family pet. We’d have her in a heartbeat if we could. I’d love to see her being able to go mind kids in a family. She just loves the hustle and bustle of the kids and is always in the thick of the trouble with them. She’s as good as gold. Fingers crossed for her.
Jazz is based in Dublin…could you please fill in an adoption application form and Claire will be in touch
