Archie, an 18-month-old French Bulldog

We have been over to Bedlington to see Archie, an 18-month-old French Bulldog, for his 1st session.

Archie really hasn’t had the best start in life before he was rehomed by his new owner who Archie has really landed on his feet with.

We think Archie may have spent his first 18 months kept in a small flat and used for breeding. He is really unsure of the outside world and doesn’t like men or other dogs.

Archie had no interest in taken outside initially which is not uncommon in a dog that is uncomfortable in their environment.

In our 1st session, we looked at just slowing things down a little and looked at the distance Archie needs to feel safe. By the end of the session, Archie was much more relaxed and keen to raid Jaake’s treats.

Archie is also very hand-shy so we looked at ways we can build his confidence in human hands.

Archie is such a lovely dog, and this shines through when he begins to warm up to you. This confidence will continue to grow as he settles into his new home and learns that not all people are bad.
