A very exciting new release!

NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER...
Dogs in Translation – A Unique Journey of Observation and Interpretation

We think this could be one of the most influential books we have ever published. A definite must read- time to treat yourself to an early Christmas present!

There have been a number of fine books that have attempted to pe*****te and unravel the complex manner in which dogs communicate with dogs, humans and other species. But Dogs In Translation, the work of two of Europe’s leading behaviourists, Gabi Maue and Katja Krauss, takes this journey of exploration to a new level.
The authors have taken every opportunity to witness situations and interactions to build their knowledge, and spent over a decade collating a library of photographs which demonstrate the myriad ways in which dogs indicate their mood and intentions. The result is this extraordinary pictorial journey through the emotional world of the dog, with more than 1300 photographs, all expertly analysed.
Making use of split-second photography, we can see the most subtle of signs that tells us what a dog is experiencing, moment by moment, and how he is processing that experience. Not only does this provide a fascinating study of canine behaviour, it also gives us the tools to predict outcomes. Armed with this knowledge, we can step in, where necessary, and prevent our dogs suffering discomfort, stress or trauma.

We are very excited to introduce our new Brand Ambassador, Emily Anderson and her dogs, Leo, Phoebe and Katie.

Emily has been involved in training dogs for 20 years and currently does agility, flyball, scentwork and hoopers. She also does lots of trick training - Leo has won the last 6 Champions League classes of the International Trick Dog Competition as well as winning special awards for technical, creative and unique tricks!
Katie is an 11 year old toy poodle- she is retired from competition but still enjoys training for fun!
Phoebe is a 6 year old working cocker - she does a bit of everything but lives for flyball!
Leo is a 2 year old working cocker - he excels at everything he does! He initially started doing tricks during the first lockdown after he lost his confidence having been critically ill at the vets, and hasn't looked back! Tricks make him so incredibly happy - he will often fall asleep after a training session then wake himself wagging his tail!

Very pleased to welcome you all on board!

We are brightening up your January days with a half price sale on Eye of the Trainer by the legendary Ken Ramirez.

In this inspiring, heartwarming, and hopeful series of essays chronicling his 40+ years of global exploration and observation, Ken shares not only the intriguing personalities of the animals that shaped his life, but how their unique challenges influenced his training choices, philosophy, and worldview.

A must-read for anyone who lives with, studies, or works with animals, Ken’s training wisdom, principled guidance, and practical advice call us to see the world through his eyes. Ken’s world is one where great training transforms the shy animal into the confident one, the aggressive into the calm, and the mistrustful into the trustful—and even the unsupportive boss into an ally.

For others, you can have fun working with a training partner, teaching your dog to forward focus, to run simple courses and, most important of all, to make sure he always gets his reward at the right time, and in the right place.

SAVE £10.00 on the Cato Plank and Tilt.

The Cato Plank with the optional Cato Tilt Stand is a great tool for a variety of training and development applications.
When used as a platform, the 30 x 91cm size works great for clean fronts, crisp downs, etc. This size was based on overwhelming popular demand and fills a need in the dog training world.

The Cato Plank is also designed to be used with the optional Cato Tilt Stand. This Tilt Stand transforms the Cato Plank from a stationary platform into a multi-function training tool.

The Cato Tilt Stand can be used to turn the Cato Plank into a multi-height teeter that has settings for 5cm 12cm and 25cm. These height gradations mean that even the most timid of dogs can learn to enjoy making the teeter move. The teeter configuration is excellent for transitioning agility training to a full-sized teeter, canine fitness, and puppy proprioceptive development.

The Cato Tilt Stand can also be used to turn the Cato Plank into an incline board. The steepness of the incline can be adjusted using the settings on the Cato Tilt Stand, or for a steeper incline, the Cato Tilt Stand can be placed on additional Cato Planks/Boards.

The New Click to Calm: Solutions for All Dogs in a Challenging World

by Emma Parsons

Our dogs’ behavior issues can often limit their lives and add challenges to ours. Emma Parsons offered hope and revolutionary solutions to thousands of owners of aggressive dogs as well as to professional trainers with her groundbreaking book Click to Calm, Healing the Aggressive Dog.

Now, she’s done it again. In her new book, The New Click to Calm: Solutions for All Dogs in a Challenging World, Emma has not only updated the Click to Calm protocol to enable more rapid behavior change but she teaches us how to apply it to help dogs with more common, less intense behavioral issues. Most importantly, she shows us how to give dogs the ultimate gifts—the resilience, awareness, and behavioral repertoire to navigate new, unpredictable, and ever-changing environments safely and calmly.

£5.00 Off Listen to Me! Exploring the Emotional Life of Dogs

We love our dogs and do our very best to provide a home and an environment that will make them happy.
So why are so many showing signs of stress? Theoretically, a dog has nothing to worry about; his food and shelter are provided for, and he is not exposed to external dangers that threaten his survival. But dog behaviourists have never been in so much demand as they try to rehabilitate dogs who are showing undesirable behaviour – becoming over-dependent, frightened or even aggressive – as they try to adapt to the lifestyle we are imposing on them. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In Listen to Me!, behaviourist Tricia Hollingshead focuses on the domestic setting and the everyday interactions between the dog and his family, which include:
• Greeting rituals
• Playtime
• Attention seeking behaviours
• Training
• Going for walks
• Meeting other dogs
• Encounters with strangers

NEW toys from Tugawaycuwin plus all the old favourites back in stock, including Squeaky Rabbit Chaser, Pocket Squeakers and Fur Flingers.

Racoon Bungee Tail Chaser
The Raccoon Bungee Tail Chaser is great for puppies and hard-to-motivate dogs because you can drag it around on the ground and make it move erratically.

Udder Fleecy Tail with Bunny Pouch Chaser
Designed to motivate even the most reluctant tuggers, the Udder Fleecy Tail with Bunny Pouch Chaser combines some of dogs’ favorite elements – an udder, braided rabbit fur and fleece, a rabbit fur reward pouch, and enticing fleecy strips to for stimulating movement when the toy is dragged on the ground.
