My advice is don't leave a dog tied up outside anywhere. I have just finished filming a show about dog napping and it is terrifying. It is much more prevelant than anyone realises and they are taking any dog whether it be a purebred or mixed. Hopefully our programme which airs in the spring will mak...

Thanks for your enquiry regarding becoming a trainer. You have got some great advice here. Everyone has a different story and for my part I self studied, went to seminars, trained with other trainers, worked in rescue shelters, read every book I could possibly get my hands on and began to develop my...

Thank you for your post and I'm so sorry to hear what happened. Yes there have been a lot of differences of opinion regarding the programme about what should have been done by people who weren't there and had not gone through the experience of having an unpredictable dog, enduring attacks and having...

Hi James. regarding your enqiry, the beepers that we used for the kitchen counters were sensors that detected movement and sounded the alarm when the sensor was broken. Please note that we only used the sensors because the problem was very severe. The dog in question had urinated hundreds of times o...

good to read such great advice. Taking your dog to training classes has real benefits BUT it has to be the right one. All too often classes take on too many dogs at one time, accept dogs that are uncomfortable in a class environment and push dogs too far too fast. I'm a great believer in smaller cla...

Great advice aidan on so many fronts. It's good to see that so much good advice is being given and we are definitely on the same page. There are not many trainers out there that have such an understanding. I just read on another forum that one way to show a dog you are dominant is to spit in its mou...

I read your message with some concern. I don't want to be negative but I have to be realistic. I would be very concerned having a small baby around a dog that acted negatively. I don't exactly know what you mean by attack. Did the dog try to bite, did it growl etc? Unfortunately there are no assuran...

jumping up
Regarding jumping up. My favourite method is to ignore the dog when it jumps by turning my back and not looking, touching or talking to it until it has four paws on the ground. Then I wait for about 3 seconds of calm before giving attention and praising the calm behaviour. Therefore you are ignoring...

Yorkie diet
Yorkshire Terriers are quite fussy eaters, but they don't need a lot of food because their stomachs are very small (1/2 the size of a satsuma orange). As your your dog approaches adulthood, I'd personally recommend an organic, wheat-free diet, along with high-quality meat. Therefore, in my opinion, ...
