We finally saw her smile and some signs of confidence in her.
Myrto participates in the educational program in the rural women's prison of Thebes, where some prisoners, with the help of the trainer Vassilis Bokaris @dog's balance, learn to train some of our dogs that live there, and to give them the tools to adapt to their forever home much easier.
Myrto has made leaps and bounds lately, and we are very proud of her. She walks very well on a leash, she has learned to toilet on her walk, she has opened up quite a bit and no longer hides when she sees strangers, but she tries to communicate, and slowly she has started to receive some caresses.
She has started to have a good reset and when she hears her name she comes, and she learned her first command, sit down!
All of this may seem simple, but for a dog like her, it's a huge step.
We brought her a puppy from the municipal kennel of Tripolis. She was a very phobic baby, and she remained hesitant and very closed in the shelter. Nowhere did she seem to feel comfortable and she was never calm with the presence of people close to her.
It is now on an extremely good track, and adapting it to a forever home will be much easier.
With the very good foundations she now has, she will be able to triumph in her new home over time, since she has now acquired ways of communicating with people, knows basic things and has begun to learn how to communicate with the person she trusts without having to imitate other dogs around her.
The few times she's carefree she runs like a deer, and we can imagine how many things she would have enjoyed already if her life hadn't started so wrong. But she is very young, and she has her whole life ahead of her to triumph.
Her new family will have all the help and advice she needs from us.
