Alpha dog training

02/04/2025

I have made a really big decision recently and that is its time to retire. I'm 71 this month and after some health issues in the last year I feel its time for some me time. I'm still doing puppy socialsation at Drake vets once a week to keep my mind busy and will be hear and on my emails if anyone needs me to chat through any problems they may have. I have my two elkies to work with and I'm happy to help any new trainers who need someone to mentor them on email with dogs and cats they may be finding tricky.

I've been working with dogs for 45 years, showing, breeding, training, running committees for various dog training and behaviour and breed clubs. I've loved every minute of it and want to thank all my past clients for returning again and again with new dogs over the years. I wish you all well with your dogs. Thanks again.

I would also like to thank all the Vet practices I've worked with to start behaviour consultations and puppy socialisation groups. It was you who encouraged me and I hope I gave you something that benefited both your practices and your staff.

We suggest to try and walk your dogs early in the mornings or later on in the evening to avoid the high temperatures, and remember to test the heat of the pavement/road with your own hand, if you cannot keep it down for long then do not walk your dog on it. Their paws can be easily burnt on hot pavements. Also synthetic turf is 40-70 degrees hotter than surrounding air temperatures, so avoid this for your dogs too.

Calling all Staffie lovers!

Introducing the handsome Terry, who is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that is nearly 6 years old and is looking for his forever home.

Terry is a happy boy who loves to be around his carers. As he is such a sociable chap, we believe he would like to find a home where someone will be around for most of the day.

In return, we are sure that Terry will shower his new owners with kisses and cuddles, and keep them entertained with his glorious personality!

Terry has been enjoying his daily exercise at the centre, and he has made some canine friends that he's happy to share his time in the field with.

However, we believe that Terry would be best suited to a home where he'll be the only pet, as he utterly adores his human companions, and hasn't had to share his affections previously.

As he is still a fairly youthful lad, Terry enjoys going for a good walk each day and he would love to keep his new family company on their outings.

Then, at the end of the day, he would like nothing more than to have a good snuggle and snooze with his new 'paw-rents'!

Due to Terry's sociable nature, we feel that he could potentially live with older children, following successful introductions.

If you have a Terry-sized hole in your heart to fill, then please head to our website at: www.mgar.org.uk/54462 and contact the team at Wingletang, who would love to tell you all about this lovely chap.
