Hoping a trainer can help - Las Vegas Area - Doberman Forum : Doberman Breed Dog Forums

Hi everyone, I know I haven't written for a while, but been very busy, and now also very involved in rescue as well.

I have been working with John Getter at Las Vegas Rescue, and I am in the position to foster 1 dog at a time (because I have Bundy and Jazz), and am making wonderful progress with the dogs that have been here. Because I work from home, I am able to give the dog full attention, and can study him for any weird little behaviours. Also, having the kids here really helps as well. We placed a beautiful boy about 10 days ago with a great couple, and now he is living the life he deserves.

Here is one of the boys I have at the moment with my son
YouTube - Duke and Liam

In fact, thanks to this video upload, we have found him a home – unfortunately, not until next week.

Anyway, another doggy needs a place to stay, and a bit of an assessment, and I can take him, if someone can look after my Bundy girl for a week.

Jim (one of my puppy owners) has put up his hand – BIG THANK YOU JIM – however, I was hoping that if a handler / conformation trainer has a bit of spare room if they would offer now and then, that way I can also get her ready for the nationals as well.

I know it’s a big ask, but it means we can save another life, and at the same time, I can get my girl in peak performance

So if you know of anyone who could help – please let me know or call me – will also be email Judy Doniere for her advice as well.

thanks

What about contacting the LV Dobe Club?

I am a member of the LV Club, and everybody seems to go deaf when it comes to rescue, or helping a mate out.

I'm working with John Getter and Camille Stelter in Las Vegas Rescue Dobes, but no one else is really getting involved. Its so frustrating

So is one my friends (or was, not sure if she is a club member or not still). She helps with Las Vegas Dobe and Doxie rescue.

Sorry, I should of elaborated, yes I know there are one or two others that are involved, in fact I think I know who you are talking about, and she was over here a few weeks ago...

I was generalising. MOST of the club members (not all) seem to disappear when it comes to rescue.

I'm going to try to get some of my puppy owners involved. I know some of them have the space that can take another dog occasionally, or at least take bundy.

I'm still hoping to find a trainer though

Oops sorry, my post was short. I didn't mean anything by it. Just that my friend is or was part of the club

I need more coffee today!

I really wish I could do this but we are at such a great distance. Animal rescue is in my blood and Tilly would love to have a Dobie sleepover!

Bit far for us (Colorado Springs), but I hope you can find something that works for you.

Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you are doing.
