Happy International Women's Day - Weekend ! 💫 Great morning at The King's Trust Brilliant Breakfast - Change a Girls Life Campaign - 💕at Harpenden Golf Club. There was lots of wisdom and nuggets in the room from the great speakers.

In 2016 (9 years ago 😲.. that's nuts) I started my business journey with The Princes Trust! They were an amazing source of support including my mentor Peter.

Thanks Sarah and Karen for organising!

Here's a snap or two of one of my first ever clients - Sasha - a super special girl!

Did you know there can be a link with sounds and pain?

For example: Noise - Startle response- Muscle tension - Pain.

If your dog has become startled by noises mention to the vet. There is a good video of obtaining gait footage of your dog here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFlraJLWZ3M

This is why I only work on vet referral, I am not a vet and there can be behavioural signs that can sometimes be associated with pain.

From my new book, DOGS OF THE WORLD, which can be preordered now. Http://bit.ly/dogsoftheworldbook Before someone complains that I should stick with DOGS and not get "political", then you should know that the history of how our dogs came to be labelled, categorized, adored or neglected, thrive or suffer ... all have something to do with politics.

Thank you to the Clean Futures Fund for the work they do for the dogs of Chernobyl. 🇺🇦 (Go make a donation!)

It's national walking the dog day!

Where does your dog like walking the most?

Just a big fat reminder (rather than a gentle one!) to stay away from livestock. 🐑🐏

Did you know scruffing or full body handling can be a significant stressor as the animal cannot escape? Lack of autonomous control can cause frustration and the rage system can be activated (check out Panksepp’s work) which can lead to the experience of anger. Target training gives some element of control as the animal moves themselves which will minimise or may eradicate handling in certain circumstances. Target training using positive reinforcement methods has also been utilised in zoo animals to assist with medical treatment in horses squirell and owl monkeys and in cats!

Have you trained any co-operative care tasks with your pets?
