The amazing Olive (AKA Olly Pop) has been in foster with us for a couple of months. This amazing girl had a rough time. We picked her up from the pound when her time was up – scared, clueless and starving after spending quite a while on the streets. Olive has made massive amounts of progress and is improving every day. She responds to calm, positive but firm guidance and this has helped her to feel safe and learn how to be a dog. She’s pretty good with other dogs she meets and our two have really helped her learn how to play (she has been living with another grey and a lab). She sleeps through the night, no longer needing a crate. She’s pretty much house trained, walks well on a lead and is fine off lead with quite impressive recall – especially if you have a treat!  Olive absolutely loves being around people and has been helping my partner, a therapist, out at work, calming those she meets. She has learnt not to jump up and there is absolutely no malice in her whatsoever. Her desire for food at any cost has also reduced massively. We only feed her three times a day now, putting her bowl down and asking her to wait. She has finally realised that she gets fed and no longer eat anything she can get into!! She’s very clever and has learnt to wait at gates with the other dogs only going through when her name is called!  Olive will make the most loving companion for someone – I don’t think I’ve ever met a dog with such a big ❤️.
