Meeting the previous owner again after adoption

Hi everyone,

My name's Lucie,

I adopted my dog from a rescue centre when he was a year old; he’s a Border Collie/Beauceron cross (and he’s absolutely lovely).

After spotting his previous owner on social media, I decided to get in touch (I spent six months hesitating as I didn't want to bother her...). As it turns out, she was really happy to hear how he's doing, and I found out that she'd had to give him up quite suddenly.

So, I’d like to suggest she comes to see him.

But I have one big question: could this be bad for my dog? Now that he’s settled into our home,

could seeing his old owner again end up confusing him?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Have a lovely day,

Lucie

    Don't pay any attention to that advert; training has nothing to do with it. It's more about the bond you share. If you’ve established a solid foundation of trust, seeing their previous owner shouldn’t be an issue at all.
