Oakley - Female Springer Spaniel

02-11-2022 Oakley is an incredibly frightened girl who flinches when touched as she is not used to kind hands stroking her. She has come to us from a breeder and is finding everything completely overwhelming as she has never seen anything of the world before. Oakley will need an adult only, very experienced and quiet home who have had scared dogs like her before and understand how to work with her to overcome her fears. Until she settles into her new home Oakley is a potential flight risk so the garden and house must be very secure and she is a dog who will be best homed with more than one confident dog to help her and who will allow her to cuddle up with them for comfort and support if she wants to. Oakley has never been in a home so this is going to be extremely scary for her 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. Oakley has no idea about lead walking and this is something else 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 Oakley cannot be stressed enough. In time and with owners who really understand her needs Oakley will slowly start to flourish and her adopters will be rewarded by seeing her become a loving a devoted friend. Oakley has a passport.
