Fun and support for the whole family!

The Mischief Journal: Walking with Fun, Focus, and Freedom

I created this journal to support dog guardians navigating life with emotionally challenged dogs. Designed for both you and your dog, it helps strengthen your bond, reduce stress, and find joy in your journey together.

Mindset shapes our experiences—shifting from frustration to understanding creates an environment where you both can thrive. This journal encourages you to recognize small wins, focus on engagement over struggles, and celebrate progress, even on tough days.

It’s not about perfection but about learning, growing, and building a relationship based on trust and patience. Every step forward brings you and your dog closer together—and that, in itself, is a success.

🐾 These books aren’t just about training—they’re about connection. They’re about making life easier, happier, and more fulfilling for both you and your dog.

Yesterday, the dog training and behaviour community received the devastating news of the passing of Sarah Fisher.

Sarah had a profound influence on my own learning and professional development, and I am deeply grateful for the knowledge, insight, and encouragement she shared so generously. Beyond her expertise, she was an incredibly kind and compassionate person. She was always so kind to me, and that is something I will carry with me.

Sarah’s work helped shape more ethical, thoughtful conversations around dogs and behaviour, and her legacy will continue through the many people and dogs she supported, taught, and inspired.

My thoughts are with Sarah’s family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who is grieving this immense loss. Please take gentle care of yourselves.

Rest peacefully, Sarah. You will be deeply missed. 🕊️

We’re truly sorry to lose our beloved friend and Ambassador Sarah Fisher and send our deepest sympathies to Sarah’s partner Anthony, her daughters, and her family and friends. Sarah, alongside her partner Anthony Head, gave so much to our charity, fostering dogs, using her canine behaviour expertise to train our staff and volunteers, and contributing in so many ways to make a real difference in animal welfare. She will be dearly missed by all of us at Battersea. 💙

🎮 Let the Games Begin! - Fun and Engaging Ways to Teach Your Dog Through Play This Holiday Season

🎯 Learning through games is so much more fun for the whole family—and for your dog, too! Dogs learn much faster through play than through repetitive drills or withholding rewards. Play keeps things exciting, reduces frustration, and builds a stronger bond between you and your dog.
