This. Another example of why I dislike crowded places where lots of unknown dogs congregate and why I don’t allow interaction with strange dogs

Fascinating! this dog in New Zealand has been trained to search for and indicate when he finds Endangered Parrots

sorry everyone.

This is so upsetting. I have no idea why people are so resistant to keeping their dogs under control in public The consequences of this would be far reaching under any circumstance but particularly when a service dog is harmed.

An incredible article (again) by Eileenanddogs How are you conditioning your dog to orientate toward you, even when there are distractions? How are you setting your dog up to succeed rather than punish them for doing things "wrong"? (dogs don't understand "right" from "wrong" they do what works for them) discuss ::)

Don’t forget our “buy 10 and get the 11th swim free” offer, which works out at just under £23.00 per swim (you pay £250 and get 11 swims) Fun, fitness and enrichment swims only Rehabilitation swims have the same offer but are charged at £35 per session

This is so important and something I am constantly banging on about Please do share, and help to spread the word about dog walking etiquette

With the weather due to improve any day now (fingers, toes and paws crossed) I know I don't have to remind you to be careful in the heat, as our dogs simply wont be prepared for it The pool is open Monday to Thursday and we have gaps in the diary this Thursday evening, when we are late night opening, until 9pm If you fancy giving your dog a splashing time instead of a walk, after work then please get in touch :)

Really interesting Dogs process emotion in much the same way we do That has (or should have) a significant impact on how we teach, train, treat and live with our dogs every minute of every day

Some of you know that I recently added competitive obedience to the list of sports I enjoy with my dogs My smallest dog, Meadow, loves it and Aleysa is a wonderful trainer whose talent for training and enthusiasm for her sport is really infectious I can highly recommend these courses - who knows you might get bitten by the bug too!
