We've had a breakthrough today! Kuro walked past a cat who was lying on the path right next to him. He didn't react, other than wagging his tail. This is a big improvement on the time he dragged me through a hedge, lol x

Just to be clear, I did mean the doggie Yorkshire accent, not the person, God forbid my sister has lived up there for over 30 years!! Arry is not keen on other breeds either, so I will be working on that with him too. It will come in time, Sarah was a nightmare, now she couldn't care less, still not keen on cats or squirrels, or maybe too keen!!.

It probably is fear aggression. Monty and Maisie were very prey driven when the first came home After around 6 months they started to improve and are now other dog friendly x Good luck

Happy birthday Buster. I think he might have overdone it eating a Bonio and lying in the outdoor run!

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the tips and suggestions. I'm honestly moved that you care enough to respond. Kuro is a wonderful dog and I adore him. I think we will work with a trainer and see whether they can work their magic! Jo you might have a point about the accent lol xxxxx

Well, what can I say? When we took Sam back with us on Sunday we had no intention of keeping him beyond Tuesday. We just wanted to give him a break from kennels and feed back to prospective adopters. It didn't take us long to fall in love with him. He's a monkey and it's not likely to be plain sailing, but we'll put the work in. So he's now reserved and we're going in later in the week to do the paperwork. Lynne, Simon, Robert, Bert, Skip and Sam x PS He roached today. I think that sealed the deal.

Alij, our greyhound Dexter was exactly the same, we rang the kennels for advise and was told about a guy called Jim Greenwood, he is a fantastic dog trainer who mainly trains hounds, I rang him and he gave us invaluable advise and even came to our house, he goes through everything with you, diet, how you react when you see another dog, we couldn't have got through those first few months without him as our boy was so reactive he was hard to control, he is always happy to help, I'm not surex if he still does them but we went to a few training days and we found them most helpful. Good luck, and hope you find a solution xxxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
We all said Goodbye to our friend Sara today. It was a very sad occasion but it was lovely to see so many people from Daybreaks there to mark her passing and celebrate her far too short life. The gentleman leading the service asked how many of us had met Sara through the kennels and I think he was amazed at how many people raised their hands. Thinking of Sara's family tonight, I hope they found comfort in seeing how loved she was by us all. Xxx Sara, goodnight my lovely. Xxxxxx

Hi, my grey was petrified of other breeds, she used to hide behind my legs, trees, bushes and shake but then she had been attacked by two labradors and also a dalmatian running loose. Suggest you try and find someone with a non-grey who is really well socialised (if you have a local branch of RGT they may be able to help you find someone) and just walk them together with the two owners in between the two dogs (so you have dog 1, owner 1, owner 2, dog 2) across the pavement while they get used to each other. I also got a dog coat from Greyhound Megastore (which they will message for you at a cost) saying Nervous Dog in Training. It didn't work for Honey she hated it (I'm sure she could read what it said!) and I would let you have it but unfortunately it is currently in store as I've moved house. Hope things improve - also don't make a big issue of it - you just feed their anxiety. Local dog training classes are also great for building their confidence. Really hope this helps - sorry no dog trainer - but as they say 'been there and done that!'

Hi Ali, so pleased you are still keeping him muzzled, this is so important. Might be worth asking people with dogs off lead to politely put them back on lead and explain he is a little unsure of them being non greys. Maybe worth looking at training classes near to you too. Hope all goes well. Do you think he being a brummie dog he doesn't quite yet recognize the good old Yorkshire accent! Keep us updated. Jo xxx
