Dog Owners its mad hot!
Don't leave your dog in the car! Not even with the windows cracked, even in the shade!
Don't walk them on Tarmac or pavements! Test with the 7 Sec rule before you do. They can still be too hot after 6pm.
Walk them when its cool, first thing in the morning, last thing at night.
Ensure they have access to lots of fresh water.
Keep them out of direct sunlight
Ensure you know the symptoms of heat stroke in dogs!

Why “Game On”
Welcome, “Game On” dog training. I am Mel Taylor, I am mostly known in the area for my Canine & Equine Photography. www.meltaylorphotography.co.uk
A little about me and my passion for dog training.
I have been nutty about dogs all my life. I have had the pleasure of owning 13 dogs, a mixed bunch of breeds, lurchers, collie x, staffie x, all resuce dogs. From pups I have had my Working sheep dog and most recently my Mini American Shepherds.
I love Dog Agility and have been competing for 10 yrs. My current dogs are Grade 5 & 6.
I have joined the majority of people at various dog training classes, gone round an round in over crowded villiage halls doing various repetitions of sit, down, stay and come, getting no inspiration and finding my dogs were not really enjoying it.
I discovered a group of inspirational trainers and have been coached by them with my two Mini American Shepherd dogs in both every day life skills and agility. The importance of foundation training in agility, ensuring the basic skills are mastered has improved my agility performances in the ring immensely.
I belong to a newly founded worldwide Dog training Programme promoting the training of game based dog training. Its members are like minded enthusiastic, dog trainers all passionate in either training their own dogs or sharing the skills with others. Training is not something you do once a day or once a week. It should be 24/7. A way of life... you can never stop learning or improving.
Dogs make choices all day, you want them to make the right ones, but the right choices need to be desirable to be repeated the more desirable the outcome the more likely they are to make that choice in the future. That’t what my training aims to teach you and your dog!
The training is suitable for puppies and older dogs alike. Don’t believe that you can’t teach and old dog new tricks! My older dog enjoys the games too and is most disgruntled if she does not get her turn! All you need to do is come with the passion to learn and grow with your dog.
I will be offering 1-2-1 sessions and small group sessions in both life skills and agility.
