PACT, who produce these podcasts, are a lovely 'in-it-for-animals' organisation, and Puppy School looks forward to collaborating further with them in future.

***NEW EPISODE ALERT***

The dust has now settled after another fabulous DOGX and with Nat away on her holidays and corrin run off her feet it falls to Steve to host this episode SOLO (what could go wrong?).
Luckily Nat and Corrin were around when we interviewed the wonderful, awesome, trail blazing human that is Gwen Bailey about her book The Perfect Puppy. We discuss her journey in dog training, the evolution of her book 'The Perfect Puppy', and the changes in training techniques over the years. She reflects on her experiences in kennels, the importance of communication with dog owners, and the impact of her work on the dog training landscape. The team and Gwen also delve into the complexities of dog training, discussing the challenges of reaching puppy owners, the impact of educational resources like books as well as the flexibility of training curriculums, and the significance of consent-based handling. We sing from the rafters about the importance of collaboration among training organisations and explore the fundamental qualities that make a good dog trainer.

On top of all that we have a segment of interviews Steve did running around at lunch time at DOGX (where he mentions potatoes at least 500 times).

Enjoy!

🎆 Fireworks season is fast approaching! You may have displays in your area for Diwali (from 31st October), Guy Fawkes Night (5th November) or New Year's Eve (31st December), and there may be fireworks across several days before and after. It's important for your puppy to be as prepared as possible, so that they can take this whole new experience in their stride.

👻 Halloween! 👻

🕷 With Halloween fast approaching, please consider how your puppy may feel when faced with different decorations appearing in your home or on their walks, or family members that may be heading out for trick or treating wearing very strange and spooky items, such as masks, hats and capes.

🕷 Remember - if children or family members do decide to dress up for Halloween, it is likely that your puppy may not have seen these before and they may be unsure. Don't let anyone make a joke of frightening your puppy with something scary - it could set up a lifelong fear and even lead to aggression later.

🕷 Try to introduce items gradually and create a positive association by using treats and or a fun game with your puppy.

🕷 Always watch your puppies body language and create a bigger distance away if they are unsure. Do not force them to move closer if they are scared.

⭐ Success Story ⭐

⭐ Check out this wonderful feedback from our recent course evaluation forms. Bella attended Puppy School with our amazing tutor, Ella Camps-Linney of Kirby Dog Training.

⭐ Read the full testimonial here:
"I can't praise enough the help we were given with Bella. Week 1 Bella was very anxious and barky, which wasn't good for her or the other dogs, but Ella dealt with this straight away giving me tips on how to settle her and keep her happy, we were sectioned off to lower Bell's anxiety. Each week it got better and the final week Bella was interacting with the other dogs in the class very happily."
