Episode 4:

Wish and her fluffy friends

Posted by Elizabeth Murphy

Welcome back to Wish’s Puppy Pen! Feeling comfortable around other animals is an important part of Wish’s training. Wish may be partnered with someone who has other pets, so we want to make sure they are all happy and get along. Wish has already met some other animals and it's going well so far!

Kalli the Labrador recently came to stay for a short holiday. Wish was super friendly and it wasn’t long until they were both sharing her bed…

In other exciting news, Wish's Volunteer Dog Trainer, Jo, recently welcomed two beautiful pet kittens into her home, Zooma and Mila!

Here is a video of Wish meeting Zooma for the first time…

If Wish’s waggy tail and Zooma’s purring is anything to go by, we think it’s safe to say they like each other!

By living with other pets, Wish is learning how to play nicely and share her toys… and her bed…

We are so impressed with how friendly, caring and gentle Wish is with her tiny fluffy friend.

How sweet!

Just like humans, friendships are important for dogs! Spending time with a fellow fluffy friend is a brilliant way to boost Wish’s mood and provide her with a sense of security and comfort.

Mila wanted to get involved too…

These interactions are all an important part of Wish’s training. Sharing her home with other animals is a great opportunity for Wish to develop her social skills and confidence. On her journey, Wish may meet lots of other animals, so it’s lovely to see how happy and comfortable she is in the company of her current fluffy housemates.

That’s all for today. We hope you’ve enjoyed seeing what a beautiful, caring and loving dog Wish is growing up to be.

Until next time, from all of us at Hearing Dogs, thank you so much for sponsoring Wish.
