Wasabi (Molly)

Happy Forever Home, Molly-Wasabi On January 21, 2009 I welcomed a young, highly reactive border collie/cattle dog mix from your rescue group into my home. Her name was Molly. One year later, I’d like to give you an update on this wonderful dog I now call Wasabi. Wasabi lives in my southeast Michigan home with my eleven year-old cattle dog Touk and Thumbs the cat. Soon after her adoption, Wasabi and I enrolled in an obedience class that used positive reinforcement training. In the beginning she was extremely reactive around other dogs, barking hysterically and lunging at them if they got too close. When strangers approached, she jumped on them and growled. The trainers knew that Wasabi’s behavior was due to anxiety, and with a lot of patience, clicker training, and Touk’s good example, Wasabi learned that new people and dogs result in treats and praise. As her confidence improved, we enrolled in an agility class, and have been training together for over eight months. Recently, we registered with C.P.E. so we can start competing! Wasabi gets a lot of exercise in her new home. In the winter, we go to a local park and she plays with Touk in the snow. In warmer weather, she runs beside my bike on the dirt roads in my town or on the local metro park trails. Before the snow fell, we were up to six miles a day! Wasabi is an excellent travel companion, and loves to ‘herd’ the waves of Lake Michigan. As our bond of trust has grown stronger, she has taken to snuggling with me on the couch. She is learning to greet people politely, and new situations aren’t so scary anymore. It has been very rewarding to help her grow into a happy, confident dog. I’d like to thank Come Bye Border Collie Rescue for saving this little dog’s life. Sometimes it is hard to see the potential that a damaged, anxious dog has within them, but you gave her a chance. I also want to extend my gratitude to her foster family, Susan and Robin. Look for Wasabi and I in upcoming agility competitions…We are quite a pair! Thank you so much for my little Wasabi, Lisa Melling Willis, MI
