When someone tells you your dog is being ‘defiant’ or ‘stubborn,’ pause.
That language doesn’t help your dog; it hurts your bond.
Training isn’t about forcing obedience.
It’s about motivation, communication, and trust.
When we teach through kindness, dogs choose to listen, not because they have to, but because they want to.

“Should I neuter my dog?” It’s a question I hear almost every week, and it’s never a simple yes or no.

Especially if you share your life with a Tibetan Mastiff. In my latest blog, I talk about what makes these dogs so different, the factors to consider before deciding, and how timing can shape both behaviour and wellbeing.

CMA Report: Why Vet Bills and Trust Are Under Review

Veterinary costs have risen sharply in recent years, and the UK’s competition watchdog has taken notice. The CMA’s latest report on the vet sector highlights big questions about transparency, pricing, and who really owns our local practices.

See what it means for owners, vets, and animal welfare below.

Big changes may be coming to your vet bills.

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has just published its findings on the veterinary sector — and it’s raising eyebrows.

Since 2016, average vet costs have risen 63 percent. Corporate groups now own around six in ten practices. Many clinics still don’t publish price lists, and prescriptions can cost several times what owners would pay elsewhere.

The CMA’s proposals include:
• Mandatory price transparency for common procedures
• Possible caps on prescription fees
• A national comparison website
• Reform of outdated legislation

The British Veterinary Association supports fairer clarity but warns that reforms must not penalise small, independent practices that still provide deeply personal, welfare-led care.

MUTT™ perspective
Transparency builds trust. Whether it’s a behaviour plan or a veterinary invoice, owners deserve to understand why something is being done and what it costs.
Mutual understanding and trust aren’t just training ideals — they’re the foundations of every ethical professional relationship, human or canine.

If the system becomes clearer and more honest, everyone — vets, owners, and animals — benefits.

Bumper and Bodger on their morning autumn walk .......love them soooo.....much! Yogi has gone out on a boys only walk with his dad. So I have these two musketeers!!

For those eagle eyed observers, yes Tashi does have a limp, she will be seeing an osteopath in a day or two, in the meantime keeping her as mobile as feasible seems to be helping.

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a puppy and their family thrive together.

Patrick’s words remind us what this work is really about: not just training, but helping guardians understand their dogs, building trust, and creating a partnership that lasts. Every dog, every family, has their own story, and it’s a privilege to be part of that journey.

Ever feel like you and your dog are dancing to two completely different tunes?

It really does take two to tango. Behaviour isn’t just about the dog, it’s about the relationship between you both. When the rhythm is out of sync, it can show up as pulling, barking, or moments that leave you feeling frustrated.

But just like dancing, it’s about learning the steps together. With patience, trust, and a little guidance, both ends of the lead can find their way back into harmony. And when that happens, the whole partnership changes, walks become easier, the home feels calmer, and the bond grows stronger.
