KYE
Wednesday 16th February 2022
New boy Kye arrived yesterday aged 2years 6 months ...
We were asked early January for help but at the time I had quite a few dogs that I had to honour and rehome before taking in anymore ... we were contacted again 10 days ago as they were concerned for their safety and his future ....
Kye has come in with a bite history, fear aggression and separation anxiety...
For the next couple of weeks he will learn how to be a dog, learn to play and interact with a well balanced pack and watch how our dogs interact with us and us with them ... Completely de stress in a calm household with firm boundaries...!
Last night he slept downstairs on a bed next to Eli
and we never heard a sound ! (Fantastic Start)
Loved his walk this morning and accepting of lead on and off ...
It's early days yet and we have a lot to address and find what his triggers are .....
I admire his owners who were struggling with a young busy family life they felt Kye's needs were not being met and made the heart-breaking decision to let him go... They loved him but he was unpredictable and becoming a danger in the home ..and with two young children they had to put the safety of the children first. This has been very hard for the family concerned and I feel their pain.
I will post a weekly blog of our journey
PLEASE NOTE KYE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION YET
Owners heart-breaking message
Any one who really knows me, knows how much I love and care for my animals.
It's with the heaviest heart that I'm having to rehome Kye due to his fear aggression.
In the times I need to help my boy the most I can't, and I have failed him, even having him from 8 weeks he turns into a different dog when he is scared there is no Kye just pure dangerous fear.
I have found the absolute best place to send him and I couldn't thank them more.
I wish this was all a huge nightmare and I will just wake up, why could you not have a jumping problem, a toy obsession, a pee and poo all over the house problem that I can fix !
When your scared I'm scared and I just don't know where I went wrong, if this post can do anything I want it to help people think twice about getting a working cocker spaniel thinking they can become pets they just can't without the right training and a job to complete them problems arise.
They are nervous dogs and need so much more than unconditional love and basic training. They need work, a real job.
My life long dream has become a living nightmare.
My good as gold 99% of the time dog has become a risk to my young children, if they were to scare him, and find them selves on the other end of his teeth, it just doesn't bare thinking about.
I'm so sorry our journey will end this soon you will always be one of my babies.
I can only hope and pray that you will understand and be a happy boy again who can learn to trust.
My little sensitive boy there won't be a day that goes by where I'm not think of you and what you may be up to, but I will just have to find comfort in the fact I gave you the absolute best start to a second chance.
You will make some one so happy, you just need a less chaotic place to rest your head. I just know you're amazing and no amount of bites will change that.
Please don't ask me how I am you couldn't begin to imagine and I can't even explain.
I'm not sorry for the time we've had, you have brought us so much fun and joy, and taught me a lot along the way.
Forever my first and only dog the pain in my heart is so much more than any bite could ever be.
I hope you know how much we all love you and I know you love us I'm sorry we were not enough and I couldn't do more, and I'm sorry I'm so sorry.
Be a good boy go do what you where born to do.
