Lucy, Poppy & Bailey – When House Guests Become Impossible
In this episode, we sit down with Lucy to talk about the reality of living with a Romanian rescue who is terrified of visitors. We discuss the unique challenges of bringing home a young dog with zero life exposure, the pressure often placed on owners by rescue organisations, and what happens when your dog’s behaviour starts to dictate who can step through your front door.
Lucy shares her journey of navigating the rescue world, paying it forward by gaining her own experience, and how the struggles she faced with her dogs ultimately inspired her to change careers and become a dog trainer herself.
If you are currently feeling trapped in your own home, unable to have guests over, this episode dives into exactly how hard that reality can be. But more importantly, it shows that with the right support and understanding, you can move beyond it to get your life back, for both you and your dog.
