K9 Behaviour Specialist Required In Melbourne For Rescue

[~Shepherd~]

Our White Shepherd rescue group is seeking the services of a K9 Behaviour Specialist to assist us in working with a new surrender. We need the service by mid next week and will require ongoing support and advice for this particular dog in one of our group members home.

The dog will be in Bundoora and we need to have the assessment done in the temporary home and possibly support through the transition to the new home.

The dog has some dominance issues that need to be assessed and worked with.

Just wondering also if Lort Smith would be the least expensive option for a desexing operation requiring the removal of undescended testes. Our last rescue was a very expensive boy so we dont have a mountain of money to spend but he was well worth it.

Thanks in advance.

ETA we are also looking for Shepherd Savvy Foster Carers.

Lort SMith is the best price, I got my shep done there he had undescended testicle as well (although somehow they managed to give him 26 stitches in the process)

Email me about the dog, and who told you it was a dominance issue?

Might be easier if I called you if thats ok, do you recall the cost of the op?

The owner gave us all the information, apparently the training acadamey that went bust mentioned the dominance problem. The owner is a really lovey person but unfortunately has to go OS in less than a month.

Are you still Geelong way?

Lort Smith would be a good price over that way or AAPS would be very cheap but they are in Keysborough. PM or email me if we can help, we're in the area on a regular basis.

Thanks.

You are welcome to contact myself. Happy to have a chat and find out further info.

Im in Wandong, not far from Bundoora and Im used to working with shepherds and dont have any issues working with dogs with 'dominance' issues.

Thanks for all the responses.

[~Shepherd~]

We have had a very kind offer of an assesment and ongoing support today including a few nights board, so thankyou so much for your responses. That offer fits perfectly with the time, financial and foster care restraints we have at the moment. Poor Bilbo has made about 6000 calls today re. vet work. Lort Smith cant do it for month and we need asap.

Thanks again!!!!!

Woooooooooohoooooooooo, My vet clinic has offered to work with us ongoing and is going to do the best price possible for the group. Things are looking really good.

[Bilbo Baggins]

Good work Chewwy. It felt like 6000 calls between doing "real world work"

[~Shepherd~]

DOL has sent us an ANGEL, this dog has made the most amazing progress with this amazing wonderful person. Just got a call from Bilbo who just visited him at the trainers and I am in tears

Good dog.

Glad to hear the dog is making progress worth all the hard work in the end!!

alpha bet has been abosolutly fantastic.

When Chewie and I picked up Sam on Sunday I thought Sh$%%^$^$^ what are we doing.

But see him yesterday and having him come up to me to be patted and rubbing against me for more was fantastic.

to alpha bet or assisting us.
