I'm Katie. I have two dogs, 7 cats, a hamster and a horse, 5 kids and a hubby. It's a bit busy (and noisy!) in our household as you can imagine!! We live on the Essex/Greater London borders and although there's a lot of nice countryside walks round here there's quite a few snobby pet owners in my area who don't appreciate my rescue dogs and their problems
(I'm about to post on the training thread about Konni cos I'm gradually reaching the end of my tether). On the plus side my daughter (aged 11) and I take the dogs to an agility club and my Beagle, Chloe, is in the display team and we also attend another training club for obedience work and heelwork to music during the week. I've been working as a professional dog walker for 2 yrs but I'm going back to college (hopefully Sept) to study animal management with a view to getting enough UCAS points to then apply for a BSc Hons degree in Vet Nursing, which was my job before I had my first child.
I've joined this forum cos I'm hoping to get some ideas on how to deal with my two "mental" dogs. I've been watching "It's Me Or the Dog USA" on Sky for a while and think Victoria's methods are far the kindest and most effective I've seen. (I used to watch the Mexican guy - his Way didn't work for us, and I think it might have made things worse).
