Hello my name is Olivia and I’m the owner of a wonderful 6 month old Labradoodle named Sora. I initially got Sora in hopes of him becoming my companion/service animal but unfortunately he has some serious noise anxiety issues that have made it hard for us to begin properly training him for that. Sora is a sweet dog and loves cuddling and peanut butter. Recently I’ve been making some progress with him in regards to walking him outside around cars but he’s still very uncomfortable around them. Last night someone called the cops on my dad and lied and said he was abusing Sora and he literally was only leash training him, nothing more nothing less. My dad literally could’ve lost his job and been arrested tonight for handling his own dog that he’s been working with since he was a small puppy. Now I’m faced with the decision of having to rehome Sora or having to pay tons of money for him to get trained for his noise anxiety issues. I don’t know what to do…I don’t wanna lose my dog but I also don’t want to risk anything happening to my parents while they’re walking him. He’s my best friend and I’ve never been more conflicted over something before in my life. Recently I’ve been in contact with two dog trainers who both said they’d be willing to work with him if I can come up with the funds to pay for the services that’d be needed to help with the type of training he’d need. The only problem is I’m a full time college student who works a part time job and I can’t afford to spare any extra money for this which is why I’m here now. Please if you can spare anything to help so I won’t have to rehome my dog and lose my best friend. Sora has the best potential to be a great pet and service animal he just need a little help to get on the right track. God bless you and your family
Thank you,
Olivia
