Gotcha day!

Post by nessclair »

It is Monty's Gotcha Day today!! It is 3 years today since I rehomed him. I can't quite believe that it has been so long! He has really improved over the last year, most noticeably being more confident and relaxed around other dogs, thank goodness! Lots of people with other dogs he used to bark at have been amazed this year with how different he is. He is very settled at home, and visitors to the house and people we meet out on walks comment on how well behaved he is. He can still be anxious in some situations, but I am really, really pleased with how he has come on :)

Happy Gotcha Day Monty. It's good to hear these stories and that progress can be made over long periods. Brilliant that he can get more enjoyment out of the things that used to make him anxious. Well done Monty (and you, of course).
