Pupdate 4 - Taking time to rest

Hello, it’s Caroline here, Douglas’ Puppy Raiser.

As I mentioned in Douglas’ last Pupdate, he’s not been his usual self. Douglas has been less playful, and less motivated. He’s quite sleepy and some days can be a little irritable, which suggests that he’s not feeling well. We’ve paused Douglas’ training for now; instead, my focus is on helping him to feel as happy and relaxed as possible, and reporting any unusual patterns in his behaviour to his vets and the team at Guide Dogs.
