Marley (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)

“He’s big, but soft and gentle. He was very patient while we fitted a new harness and he behaved beautifully on our walk, loose lead most of the time. He likes to plod along, taking his time to sniff and investigate. He was not bothered by traffic or a passing dog. He sat really nicely for his photo shoot, especially as there were treats involved, which he took very gently.”

“I met Marley today and found him very friendly. We had a nice long walk. He was lovely to walk. He is strong but doesn’t pull. He was good as cyclists, motorbikes and traffic passed him. He sat nicely when I asked him, to let some people and their dogs walk past and he had no reaction, other than to wag his tail. Later, two off lead standard poodles ran around him barking and other than a friendly bounce as he wanted to play, Marley did not react.”

“He is responsive to his name and is obedient. No worries at all passing other dogs, he just looks. We went to the paddock where he followed me everywhere and I gave him another good brush, which he absolutely loves and had him groaning and lying on his back with his legs splayed out. Takes treats gently and I haven’t found him nervous at all. He’s a bit of a Gent actually. Soooo handsome!”

“He loved all the cuddles and attention he got from my husband and I. Once settled was quite happy just to lay in the sun and enjoy his time out from the kennels. Was also brilliant in my tiny Corsa car, just sat looking out the window taking in the views. Whoever gives Marley his forever home is going to be one lucky person. He is just full of love and so well behaved.”

“Marley just loves some human attention and aims to please. He knows sit and paw and I think he would also enjoy further training as he loves a gravy bone! He really is a heartbreaker! “
