Likes:
Harry my evil twin, cuddles, training, food, playing, working out treat balls, having my song sung to me, cuddling up on the pillow on "sleep in" mornings.
Pet-Peeves:
Being left alone, cats, other dogs until I get to know them
Favorite Toy:
Treat balls & stuffed kongs (yum!), anything made of rawhide, anything Harry has
Favorite Food:
I used to be really food obsessed when I first came to live here after the dog's home, but now I know I'll always get my dinner, so I don't feel I have to eat everything. But I love Sardines!!! And a nice meaty bone. Oh and my training treats.
Favorite Walk:
St Ives Showground!! And if we can't go there, the street around the corner with the nice green strip is pretty good for checking my weemail.
Best Tricks:
I can jump tall buildings (well fences, anyway) wwith a single bound! Mum says I would do well at agility if the other dogs didn't make me so nervous.
Arrival Story:
I moved in as a foster dog, apparently mum was just going to look aafter me until I found a new home. Yeah - right. As if! I took one look around and decided I wasn't going anywhere else...
Bio:
Marley will do anything for food, so he has been a dream to train. That doesn't stop him being a teenage kelpie and ready for whatever mischief comes his way, especially in tandem with his kelpie gangland boss, Harry. Marley thinks he is a much smaller dog than he really is (around 25kg) and doesn't understand why it's so hard to fit on a human lap - but he tries anyway...
Update: Marley and Harry have stopped eating the furniture and fixtures. This is a good thing. Life with two rescue "special needs" dogs can sometimes be trying and is definitely time consuming but I wouldn't swap them for the world. After spending some time with Marley it became apparent that he hadn't been that well socialised to other dogs in his former life and so we are careful about doggie "introductions" - no off leash park unfortunately... But he does love to do training exercises and he has a special class with other dogs who are all learning to be calmer in each other's presence. Marley and Harry have taught me more than I ever thought I'd need to know about dog behaviour!
