Oh Jessie..Jessie got herself wound up today"...kennels damn kennels" she said...let me out of here! She was a raging bull and I the matadore . I simply had to let her take her wound-up energy out on the branches in the wood.

Then she relaxed..

Oh Jessie so needs an active family and back into life please! She is such a beautiful girl who seems to be getting more and more pent up in kennels.
NOTE TO SELF go over to Gatwick at least 3 times next week especially for our Jessie!

Jessie repeated her "lets get all this frustration out my system" routine today. Who can blame her. Gave her about an hours walk which she was bursting at the seams in need of. Not sure if the rampaging the woods and breaking off branches is serving the purpose of her focusing her pent up energy constructively or destructively. All depends if given better circumstance she can move on in her focus and attention. She certainly soon does this once out of the woods. Hoping with more vol. dog walkers attending the Gatwick kennels, Jessie can get more time out from the kennel environment which she really needs!!! Placed her on a loopie harness and short lead in case she bit through the lead but she had settled by this time and showed no lead aggro

Jessie and I had a fast walk today... Jessie's pace! She was on a short chain lead to avoid her catching it with her teeth I lost 2 extenders last walk! We avoided the wood until at the end of the walk when her energy was more tame. I had taken secateurs with me to cut back bramble and she decided no she wasn't going to grab them or the brambles. This acted as a decoy so she was learning to leave..and discriminate. I had feared she would be indiscriminate and grab like branches. I was wrong..curious but then 'I leave that one to you!'

Jessie isn't doing well her energy is very high. She carries her plastic bed around with her in the kennel..the staff have video'd it being moved and lifted. She apparently can't go out into the paddock as she avoids the staff coming back in. Oh Jessie you do need a fosterer to help you express your frustrated energy and come back down to earth. Ended my visit with lovely head strokes and kisses and be back soones...

Jessie was initially quite calm which was a lovely surprise but once into the woods she was determined to get those branches. Once we escaped the wooded area she was a different girl. Trotted along nicely, not bothered by the roar of the traffic on the motorway nearby. On returning at the end she was a bit focussed again on the branches but better. She needs some nice long walks away from the woods. Very Happy

Jessie came out the kennel today very fired up..10 mins later she began to settle and 10 mins later she was enjoying her walk and affection.

Jessie is such a funny one Very Happy

Firstly through the woods she was hard work but once out on the street she is an angel - a pleasure to walk. We had a good long walk and sat on a bench to eat lunch. She sat nicely while we ate and had a few bits calmly. When I finished she jumped on the bench half on my lap and watched my daughter eat her crisps. Had a nice cuddle. She really enjoyed her time out and you can just imagine her settling into a life with someone. I think she was pleased to be out twice this week and she does so need it.

Jessie was just hyper today! She flew out the kennels as though ready to burst..she loves to get branches and break them off into 18 " pieces even when they are still attached..especially when they are still attached! As a past time she uses up lots of excess energy and had one game leaping up to catch hanging branches..and I mean leaping. She settled into the walk and at least one feels of all the dogs Jessie make full use of her window of opportunity!

Jessie was just having her kennel cleaned when I appeared today and whisked her off her feet. Short leads on and off we went..she started her antics of playing with the lead and then an attempt to visit a unsuspecting branch but she soon recognised that this walk was different..it had focus it had purpose. There she was leaping into the passenger seat of my car and oh whow this is different. Off we drove and 10 mins later we stopped and out I got leaving her with a seat well filled with an open box of 'staffie collars' mainly leather. I appeared back 10 mins later to check on her; she was sitting as peaceful as a church mouse! Off I went and 15 mins later the same only this time she was lying. No she hadn't decided to chew anything; hadn't decided to try and go through the grate to the back. A very short walk and bless she was introduced to her new kennel and left. Over the course of the afternoon I checked on her she was calm.

We have moved Jessie as we think she was getting worked up by a deaf dog in the other kennels who was very exciteable and had a high pitched cry. Lets see if her new kennels suit her by being free of this and also walks being freer away from 'woods'

Jessie is doing well Very Happy

Much easier to walk her in the new environment - less woodland. Still she was keen on branches on the walk but settled quicker and as usual as soon as we got into town area she was fine. I took her for a walk round the local park and here she didn't even glance at branches on the ground or shrubs nearby. On the way home through the more wooded part she was more playful with branches than wild.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much easier it was to walk her today Very Happy

At the park she snuggled up with me on the bench and we just cuddled for a while. She is such an adorable little thing really.
