Barking dogs and neighbour disputes.
I was recently asked to write a piece for the Daily Mail Online
Lots of my neighbours have told me the dog bothers them, but said they didn't want to cause a fuss. What can I do to make it stop?

The Zarif statue in Heihe, China speaks volumes….
A useful reminder for all areas of life including the use of reinforcement-based dog training methods as opposed to paversive training methods.

Great day at Claremont Park Gardens. Lots of questions fielded.
Trust an 11 yr old to ask me how many dogs in the world and how many live with people!! Fortunately, the answer came to me. Circa 1 billion in the world and around 30% with us. Phew!

I really like this poster.
It’s a behaviourist’s job to identify and educate the client through demonstrations on how to best address the cause using reward based methods.

Interesting research to support anecdotal evidence
The competition watchdog said that pet owners struggle to access information such as price lists.

People often think that each year of a dog’s life equates to 7 years in human terms. That’s a useful guide but it doesn’t quite work that way. Below is a helpful and more accurate guide.

Helping you, help your dog.
Do you need help with a dog behaviour problem? Thinking of buying a puppy? Just bought a puppy? Just taken on a rescue dog?
I am an accredited dog behaviourist and have bases in London, Reading, Oxford, Manchester, Frankfurt, Kassel, Bilbao, Madrid, Chamonix and Southern France (Olonzac). If you live within commuting distance of these bases, I can help with any dog behaviour with which you need help.
Originally trained at the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training, I have been modifying troublesome dog behaviours for over 20 years. As a member of the International School for Canine Psychology & Behaviour, the International Companion Animal Network and the Guild of Dog Trainers, I believe in treating all clients and their dogs with respect, compassion and understanding.
I always guarantee that in the event of the strategies prescribed failing to make the behavioural problem at the very least manageable, subject to you having followed my advice, fees are fully refundable.
Here are some of the problems I'm regularly consulted on: Separation Anxiety; Recall Issues; Pulling on the Lead; Jumping Up; Excessive Barking; Boisterous Dog; Toileting Issues; Mouthing or Play-Biting; Sight and Sound Phobias; Destructive Behaviour; Aggression towards People; Dog on Dog Aggression; Nervousness; Coprophagia (eating animal excrement).
In addition to rehabilitating troublesome dog behaviours, I also hold puppy Nursery School and private 1:1 puppy classes.
Don’t be Shy. Get in touch. If I can’t help, there is no fee.
