Thats a really big topic and something we could (or at least I could) talk about for far longer than we have time just here. So I’ll try to cover the really really important bits below but there is far more to this topic than just whats covered here. Body language is really important to …

I know, I know it’s the second time in a couple of weeks Ive talked about this. It’s an important issue at this time of year. I’m not going to apologise for bringing it up again. If your pet is unlucky enough to be traumatised by them then you’ll know, all to well, just how …

A fair few (well at least two) have been asking if you could buy some of the treats I make. So from now I’ll be selling them regardless of if you have lessons with me or not. Treats are made from pure lambs liver. Nothing else is added to that. They’re far tastier than anything …

Remember, remember the 5th of November and lots of other children’s rhymes. Its not just one night either, bonfire night seems to stretch from early October right through to early December and then theres Christmas, New Years, Ramadan and countless other reasons, they do seem endless.

Recall is always a big subject, and one everybody asks about. How do I recall my dog from anything, horses, deer or someone’s else’s picnic are common topics people bring up lots of the time. Our dogs recall on occasion can do anything from embarrassing us ( ask me about Henry and the wheelchair) to …

It’s early August. I know it doesn’t feel warm but having your dog shake water all over you isn’t really the worse thing that can happen. On a January day, when it’s -2 C and you just can’t get properly warm then it’s a different matter. It’s a simple matter to teach a dog the …

It’s Henry’s birthday. He’s nine today. Apparently he doesn’t look it. Or thats what I’m told I have to say. Anyway this is Henry in all his finery.
