Walk to help Yiannis

Hi,

Does anyone fancy coming for a walk with Yiannis and I, maybe Wednesday or Thursday?

I'd like to take him somewhere quiet, not necessarily on our normal walk routes, during the day when not many people will be about.

I think now he's propery on the mend I should start working with him straight away in terms of re-socialising him with different people, places and dogs. New places are a must for Yiannis - he loves 'em. Any dogs that come along would (I hope) break the ice a littel bit if Yiannis doesn't knwo ther owner. This way he'll learn more quickly I think that not everyone is out to hurt him and may start to trust again.

If anyone has a spare hour or so, fancies a walk somewhere near the West Midlands area and has a dog-friednly dog for Yiannis to please reply.

I have not followed your case very close and I don't know the English geography enough yet, but if Oxford is close to West-Midlands I'll be glad to help.

Hi Simira,

Thanks for that. Oxford is a bit too far to go though.

Laura, I've got the day off on Wednesday. If you want to use any of mine (would understand not Molly or Dizzy if you think too boistrous) but kids etc and I'm sure Dave wouldn't mind either. Let me know if you think I can help in anyway. Dogs, kids or partner or just me

Hi Ali,

it would be great if Yiannis and I could meet up with you on Wednesday. Yiannis has already met you and Molly so I'm sure there would be no problem. And although he's not met Dizzy yet I'm positive they'll get on absolutely fine.

It would be good if Dave could come too so that there's at least one person to be in reasonably close proximity to Yiannis who he doesn't know.

I'll leave it up to you though. I'm hoping Yiannis follows the cues from Molly and Dizzy though in terms of being in the same place as someone unknown. If he sees other dogs behaving proeprly around peopel then he'll get back to normal more quickly I think than if it's just me walking him past people in the street.

Let me know where and what time. Your choice.
