Canicross Story: Astor, from anxious street dog to man’s best friend (Episode 32)

In this episode, Louise and Michelle chat to Paul Jones, who, together with his partner Lucy, rescued Astor in 2019. Astor had been found in quite a bad way in Mauritius, and arrived in the UK a very anxious, scared, dog. Over the last few years, he has learned to trust humans again, and discovered a joy for canicross. Paul talks candidly about the realities of adopting an anxious, reactive dog, and shares what he has been working on to build Astor's confidence.
