What's up dog?
Chimera is one of my working sheep dogs. She helps me manage my flock so I can look after them as stress free for everyone as possible. She is also used to demonstrate her work on sheep to dog owners to show what we can help them achieve. She has helped build the confidence of many dogs that start off fearful and anxious and to switch on to working sheep. She also helps me with reactive dogs and their owners to change their behaviour and become more relaxed and happy.
