Adopter Lemon
Pointer · Mand · Voksen · 5 år
Lemon er en ung og meget sund Pointer. Han har alle træk fra sin race, og det er næsten sikkert, at nogen engang betalte et højt beløb for ham, inden han blev forladt. Han har været hos os i lang tid, og under denne periode har vi set ham ændre sig. I starten gjorde han kun det, der var at frigøre sin energi alene. Når han var ude i have, jagtede han fluer og fugle alene. Når han var inde i sin kage, gjorde han det samme. Endda under ture forblev det uskiftet. Det kan lyde sjovt, men det er ikke. Lemon var alene, og han havde aldrig lært, at hvad han gør, kan være bedre sammen med mennesker. Gradvist begyndte dog dette at ændre sig. Måske er det fordi årerne gik og han begyndte at modnes, eller fordi vi konsekvent viste ham, at menneskekontakt bringer mange fordele. Selvom han stadig er en ekstremt aktiv hund med stor mængde energi, har han begyndt at forbinde sig med mennesker og selv søge efter denne forbindelse. Nu, når vi kommer ind i hans område for at sætte hans snor på og tage ham på tur, løber Lemon ikke ret til døren. I stedet hopper han op på os og spørger om omsorg. En lang tur er afgørende for ham, men det er ikke nok. At gå alene er ikke tilstrækkeligt for at frigøre hans energi. Det er derfor, at spil med en bold er en meget god aktivitet for ham. Det hjælper ham med at forstå, at spil kan være interaktivt, og da han elsker at jage sin bold, er det et godt udgangspunkt for at bygge kommunikation med ham. En træner vil kunne forstå ham bedre og opdage alt, der motivere ham, samtidig med at både hans krop og sind holdes korrekt optagede, så han ikke trækker sig tilbage til ensomhed og fluejagten igen. Samtidig vil Lemon lære at slappe af og nyde rolige øjebliks med den person, der vælger at tage ham ind i sit liv.

Lemon is a young and very healthy Pointer. He has all the traits of his breed, and it is almost certain that someone once paid a high price for him before abandoning him. He has been with us for a long time, and during this period we have seen him change. At first, all he did was try to release his energy on his own. When he was outside in the yard, he would chase flies and butterflies by himself. When he was inside his kennel, he would do the same. Even during walks, nothing changed. This might sound amusing, but it really isn’t. Lemon was alone, and he had never learned that whatever he does, he can do better together with people. Gradually, however, this began to change. Perhaps it is because the years passed and he started to mature, or because we consistently showed him that human contact brings many benefits. Although he remains an extremely active dog with a lot of energy, he has started to connect with people and even seek out that connection. Now, when we enter his space to put on his harness and take him for a walk, Lemon doesn’t rush straight to the door. Instead, he jumps up on us, asking for affection. A long walk is essential for him, but it is not enough. Walking alone is not sufficient to release his energy. That is why playing with a ball is a very good activity for him. It helps him understand that play can be interactive, and since he loves chasing his ball, it is a good starting point for building communication with him. A trainer will be able to understand him better and discover everything that motivates him, keeping both his body and mind properly engaged, so he does not retreat into loneliness and butterfly chasing again. At the same time, with the person who chooses to bring him into their life, Lemon will learn to relax and enjoy moments of calm.
