  • Amazing pals

    Cooper has now been living with us for 3 months and we are continuing his training under the guidance of our trainer Wendy from Therapy Dogs New Zealand.

    Cooper is making such a difference for Kaiden - he generally feels much less anxious when he is with Cooper and they are both firm buddies and spend a lot of time playing together. Cooper comes most places with us which is a huge help with Kaiden's social anxiety and helps him to stay calm in busy, noisy places. When Kaiden is doing his lessons at home Cooper is normally sleeping nearby.

    We have had an extra special Christmas with Cooper coming for his first sleep over. We picked him up Christmas Eve and he was here for Christmas Day and stocking opening.

    What an extra special Christmas it has been for Kaiden.

    We can't wait for his next visit - the cat still has a little adjusting to do before Cooper joins us permanently.

    Cooper is a darling puppy who is so incredibly well behaved - thankyou to Wendy from Therapy Dogs New Zealand for her wonderful training of Cooper.

    Kaiden and Cooper have had quite a few play dates now - Cooper is still living with our therapy dog trainer Wendy.

    There is a wonderful attachment between the two of them and Kaiden says that he feels so much calmer when he's with Cooper.

    We are so looking forward to Cooper coming home hopefully at the end of January if he has passed all his training by then.

    With this being the first Christmas that Cooper is part of our family, even though he's still in training, we have made sure there has been Santa photos and Cooper has his very own stocking waiting under the tree for Santa's visit.

    We are looking forward to so many special times to come, a life long friendship for Kaiden with Cooper and so much benefit for Kaiden through having his buddy with him.
