Boxers on Board

Описание: Getting our boxer dog girls used to our new MH.

Our girls are rescues and when we first got them 4 years ago they hated the car, we couldn’t get them in without lifting them in….then they would pant all the time with stress. Lots of time and training and they now walk up a little ladder into the back of the car without any problems and settle very well.

We knew they would struggle with the movement and noises of the MH so we decided to help them slowly get confident with it. First few times we encouraged them into the van no pressure, just in and out while I pottered about in there. Then we bought them flat floor beds to help pad the floor for them…as well as super lush beds to sit on top of the flat beds for their nights in the MH.

We stayed in the MH on our own drive for the first time, to let them get used to it and see how they reacted. That was great and the blinds being shut helped them stay very settled.

Today we have been pottering in the MH and Chris decided to move it into a better position on our drive. We took this as an opportunity to get the girls in and see how they got on.

As expected they were a little unsettled, bit anxious….but actually not too bad.

A friend of ours had mentioned she thought the girls struggle as they were probably traumatised from their trip from Bulgaria when they were rescued and brought over to England in a lorry. Which completely makes sense. So it’s important we try to help them get confident in the MH.
