Horatio the Agility Springer Spaniel

My Springer Horatio is 2 years old now. I got him from a breeder when he was a puppy but due to two unfortunate dog attacks when he was a young dog (7 and 11 months) he became aggressive towards other dogs and became very scared and timid of people as well.

However due to lots of support, love and help from friends (and his tiny kitten sister, Wednesday) he has really turned around. This is him at the agility class we attend on Saturdays.

He is a truly wonderful dog and I can even let him of the leash at the dog park where we host the classes and am perfectly content knowing he is well behaved and friendly. It may not sound like much but it was a huge step for us when I could finally stop worrying about dog fights and snapping at people.

So got this lovely picture of him and decided to share our good news! Hope to get more pics up soon of him and his sister.
