Here is a terrific educational video on how to get your dog happy to wear a headcollar. This technique can be used for any type of headcollar, not just the one used in the video.

Today's Puppy Consultation with Sasha!
Today's Puppy Consultation was with the lovely 5mth Sasha! She one of the calmest, most pleasant natured German Shepherd puppies I've ever had the pleasure of working with and now that her owners understand a lot more about her behaviour and her unique needs, I think she is going to grow up to be a smashing dog!

A very busy week it has been (said in true Yoda style!)!
The Walk Clubs are so popular I've had to start a new one on Saturday afternoons. It will enable people who work during the week to consider joining a club and socialising their dogs. The venue has a playground so families are more than welcome!
This week I've been very busy with rescue work; helping a Neapolitan Mastiff female who was due to be destroyed at a dog pound in Yorkshire, organising her emergency transport down to to a kennels in Cambridgeshire and then doing a visit to meet her and microchip her. It was touch and go as to whether she had a cancerous growth in her ear but thankfully this proved benign and she can now be found a good home.
The week has also been taken up with Puppy Consultations, follow up consultations, Walk Club Inductions and a consultation to help a very stressed but lovely rescued Golden Retriever. He will need lots of help for the foreseeable future but this boy is very lucky in that he has some very committed, dedicated owners who are going to see it through and I will be there to help them as much as they need.

Today...
Worked with a delightful little JRT today who had simply lost her way a little in the great scheme of doggy etiquette. Sticky & Bailey patiently helped her to relearn her social skills while having lots of fun too!
Enquiries are coming in thick and fast after a bit of a hiatus in April - I presume with people worrying about the credit crunch (myself included!). Walk Club places are filling fast and I've had to put on an extra club session on a Saturday lunchtime!
Sticky continues to amaze and impress me with his impeccable eloquence in doggy social skills and responsiveness to my commands to the extent that I'm wondering if he's not telepathic!
