We've been testing dog toys; Magick our office pup, a 10-month-old LUA Dalmatian and Cercei a 2-year-old Irish Setter have been playing with dog toys to see which ones last the longest. Take a look at the results and see video clips of both dogs in action. They had so much fun!

Which toys last and which are a fail

Magick decided it was time to consider her banking options. She was very impressed by the free dog treats at Metro Bank

Magick felt it was time to consider her banking options so whilst we were in London she decided to visit . Whilst at 10 months old she has little understanding of banking, she was very impressed by the free dog treats.

At this time of year, so many of us struggle thinking ahead to Firework season, yes I said season, as fireworks go off from September until well into the new year. If you live or work with a noise-sensitive dog you will know what I am talking about.
Helping dogs as it all starts to happen just doesn't cut it, we need to be starting ahead of November 5th, so Erica Cosijn and I are collaborating to deliver her fantastic course Nasty Noises next month. If you don't know Erica, she is a Tellington TTouch practitioner who also has years of experience understanding noise impact both for dogs and humans and this 2-day training that will be offered live-taught on Zoom, will give us an understanding of why dogs are scared of notice, in day one with day 2 spent working through practical solutions with a strong focus on TTouch. If this sounds of interests, do pre-register and I will send you a 20% discount code. The box office opens next Saturday. More information can be found in the first comment. Hope to see you there.

It's with a heavy heart that today we had to say goodbye to Arapahoe, she was 16 and not enjoying life and she was ready to join Mischief across the Rainbow Bridge. She was the most amazing teacher, and friend and I know everyone who met her loved her. She leaves a big hole in my heart but there is a time when I know we have to say goodbye to our beloved 4-legged friend. Run free Arapahoe xx

This will be a work in progress!

We may not get a perfect result but I'm at least going to show you how we use the Tellington T-Touch leading exercises to help bingo to learn to walk on the lead and to hopefully walk in his own balance.

What do I mean by in his own balance? Well the short answer is posture influences behaviour.

If we can change the posture of the dog we'll change the behaviour of the dog. Remember physical balance influences mental and emotional balance.

So, within TTouch we're always very conscious of the animal being in as perfect balance as possible.

The Tellington® Method developed by Linda Tellington-Jones in the 1970s is a training method that includes learning how to observe dogs, learning how they communicate with us and their body language. A number of body touches or TTouches where we gently move the skin to help them relax and release tension and movement exercises to help dogs become more balanced on the lead and not to pull.
