Bella - Female Collie

19-02-2024 Bella is a very frightened girl who has come to us in search of a home. She does slowly warm up to people but this does take time and a few meetings before she starts to trust. Bella will need an adult only and very experienced home who have had scared dogs before and understand how to work with her to overcome her fears. Children would be too much and completely overwhelming for her so it must be a child free home. Bella will need a very secure garden and home. She has never been in a home so this is going to be completely overwhelming at first and she will need owners with endless time and patience to help her learn about house training etc. At first the garden may be as scary and the inside of the home so getting in the garden and then back in the home could take time. Bella has no idea about lead walking and this is something her new owners will need to work on once they have gained her trust. They will need to start practising in the garden and then progress outside in quiet areas and the importance of double leading Bella cannot be stressed enough. In time and with owners who really understand her needs Bellawill slowly start to flourish and become the happy girl she should have always been. She has a PETS document.
