More about TEDDY

Meet our sweet but sensitive boy Teddy!

Teddy's previous owners told us that he was a mix of a Bichon Frise, Maltese and Pomeranian.

Teddy is worried of new people and more formal aspects of handling. He is looking for a home away from the hustle and bustle of inner city life to support management and on-going training.

Since being with us we have worked on building Teddy's confidence and positive association with new people, dogs, and environments, to socialise him. We have also put in some training to desensitise him to being handled and helped him by providing lots of stress reduction. New owners will need to continue the training around constructive socialisation and handling desensitization.

Teddy is looking for calm and patient owners who are confident in reading a worried dog's body language, will advocate for him, and continue to build his confidence up to show him that the world is not such a scary place. He is looking for owners who have had previous experience with similar behaviours and can help Teddy continue to flourish.
