I have owned a Border Collie cross rescue as a child, who I helped to feed and walk as well as playing with her as well as 2 rescue cats (tortoiseshell and tuxedo). I currently own a Labrador cross rescue, who is anxious and becomes reactive when stressed. For the past 4 years, I have been working on socialising her with cats, dogs, horses and cows, as well as desensitising her to vehicles (particularly motorbikes), as these have been her main triggers. For 2 years, I walked my neighbour's Rottweiler once a week as part of volunteering for my Duke of Edinburgh's Award; I worked on training him not to pull on the lead as well as stopping at roads, as his owners sometimes struggled to control him. I have also had experience looking after an elderly Jack Russel Terrier, two Newfoundland's, a Husky Labrador cross and an Akita Husky cross, also 2 more cats. I believe I have the relevant prior and current experience, and I am in the process of completing a Zoology degree with the intention of achieving a full time job in animal care once I graduate.
