My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the β€œcravat” unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody – why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help – all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF 😳😳😳

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Country’s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. He’s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges Β£875 per session πŸ€”πŸ˜§

Now I’m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if I’m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldn’t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques he’ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training you’ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

WHAT THE F?

Recognising stress responses in dogs.

Fight or flight are well known reactions to fear or stress, but these other β€œF” words are also important to understand and be aware of as they may not always be so obvious.

Freeze, Fawn, Fidget or Fool around are also responses to stress or fear and are also commonly seen in people.

Some dogs may have a genetic predisposition to one type of response while some react based on previous experience - what has worked for them before or what hasn’t. Some dogs have different reactions depending on the specific context.

Recognising and taking note of situations or circumstances where these responses are seen is important in understanding how our dogs are feeling.

When we recognise a fear or a stress response, we are able to intervene and advocate for our dogs.

Today I am grateful NOT to be working in clinic. No not to enjoy the sunshine, but to be away from the devastation that heatstroke still causes despite multiple warnings. I am grateful not to be battling to save lives, and witnessing unnecessary deaths of wonderful dogs who would have quite happily missed a walk today.

To all my veterinary colleagues, I just hope you do not have to see too many tragedies today. Sending lots of love and healing as it’s part of our job which should no longer be part of our job and has a huge negative mental impact.

KEEP THOSE DOGS IN THE COOL, AT HOME!

There’s nothing wrong with muzzling your dog if you need to but please make sure it’s fitted correctly & dogs can still pant.

Pant room is very important! The number of Ill fitting muzzles I see is worrying. Dog’s pant to cool down and if we stop this mechanism we run the risk of them overheating. Also being restricted means we are not following animal welfare guidelines as we are preventing expression of normal behaviour.

Be sure to have the muzzle properly fitted as every dogs muzzle length/size is different.

❌ The Serious Threat of Antifreeze to Your Canine Companions ❌

🐾 As we gear up for colder months, it's crucial to be aware of a silent dangerβ€”antifreeze. This seemingly harmless substance can be lethal for our dogs. Here's why:

πŸ‘‰ Sweet, But Deadly: Antifreeze has a sweet taste that may attract dogs, making them more likely to ingest it. Even a small amount can be toxic!

πŸ‘‰ Lethal Ingredients: Ethylene glycol, a common ingredient in antifreeze, is highly toxic to dogs. It can cause kidney failure, seizures, and even death.

πŸ‘‰ Symptoms to Watch For: Keep an eye out for signs like stumbling, lethargy, vomiting, and excessive thirst. If you suspect ingestion, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

πŸ‘‰ Outdoor Threat: Antifreeze often pools in driveways or garages. Be cautious during walks, and clean up any spills promptly to protect your pup.

πŸ‘‰ Secure Storage: Store antifreeze out of reach, preferably in a locked cabinet. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent accidental spills.

πŸ‘‰ Pet-Safe Alternatives: Consider using pet-safe antifreeze, which contains propylene glycol instead. It's less toxic but still requires caution.

Spread the word to keep our dogs safe from this winter hazard! πŸΆπŸ’™ Share using . Let's protect our canine companions and make sure they enjoy a happy and healthy winter season. β„οΈπŸΎ πŸš«πŸ•

A little about me..........

Hello, My name is Dani and I am married with 3 children, 2 cats and a big lovable Labrador. I have started up Buddy’s friends as I am a great animal lover, enjoy the big outdoors and feel that I have much to offer in the way of care and exercise.

I am happy to walk your dog as and when you want me to, whether it is daily, weekly or on an ad-hoc basis. Dogs will only be in very small groups of 2 or individually so this means your dog is able to relax and enjoy their exercise.

I am able to offer pet visits for small animials, dogs, cats or puppy’s in the comfort of their own home. This can be during the working day, for your holiday break or hospital stays etc.... A typical visit may involve a quick clean of cages and litter trays, replenishing food and water bowls and most importantly giving your pets a lot of fuss and attention.

Please feel free to contact me for more information.
