The credit crunch, global recession, bad news on the TV, too much work, not enough time… we all experience stress, don’t we? As humans, we know all too well what the symptoms can feel like – and how it can make us behave. What causes dogs
No, this isn’t a reference to the fact that when most of us are on Facebook there are a hundred other things we ought to be doing instead… it’s my thoughts on dogs that are frequently and regularly walked in a group…. Social dogs enjoy interacting with other
Ah, Christmas. The time of year when friends send cards and… the inevitable Christmas letter… Now, you know the type of thing I mean. Their son just graduated with flying colours at the age of 12, their darling daughter just passed grade 6 on the flute
When stress isn’t stressful Much is now written about stress in dogs – in fact it has become a bit of a trend for dog trainers to be told that dogs should be greeted sideways on, with narrowed eyes and a substantial amount of lip licking. The idea
Ever heard something like this? “I don’t need to train my dog, he’s ….only tiny/is naturally obedient/is good with the family …” You can fill in the blanks… but what I always want to ask, is ‘what about in an emergency?’ Preparing your dog in advance
It’s tempting to think about the quintessential British dog out enjoying the beautiful UK countryside, with green-wellied owner in tow. Of course, many of our dogs do live the perfect country life, ‘hunting, shootin’ and fishin’ (aka, sniffing for squirrels, running in the woods and wallowing
Do you own a Greyhound that sits on command, or a Beagle that comes when it’s called?! Well done! You have managed to put yourself in a class of your own! All too often we are given definitions and descriptions of breed characteristics which we simply
Would you jump off a cliff if someone asked you? How about give your hard-earned money to strangers in the street, just because they told you you should? Simply acting on other people’s advice can be risky if you don’t know what that advice is based
Bringing a new puppy home is an exciting event for humans, but for cats it can seem as if their world has just been torn apart. Even if your cat has been used to living with a dog, the new puppy is nothing like their old,
Getting a new puppy is an exciting event. There he is, all full of hope and promise. And there you stand, all omnipotent, thinking just how important it will be to teach him right from wrong. Well, I have news for you – it’s not the

I have renamed my humble abode to Bliss HQ, because since the arrival of my (absolutely gorgeous, smart, sweet and sassy) little pupster, Bliss, my life has been completely dominated by all-things-puppy!
Skye (my Samoyed/Collie-mix) is doing a remarkable job in her role as strict grandma!
Quill, my Kooikerhondje, is caught in an internal battle of motivations. He really likes the little ball of fluff, and wants to be with her and close to her all the time, but he’s also aware that his stuff (and everything is his stuff!) is at risk of being shared!
Bliss truly is the most engaging and sweet girl – and I feel incredibly lucky to have her and to be able to put all my knowledge and understanding into practice for myself and my family.
She’s super-bright, so willing to learn, is the cutest button ever, and is already bonded very strongly to me.
Bliss is a Japanese Spitz, and will grow into something a little more ‘arctic fox’ than ‘panda cub’ as she is now!

My mission is to make fun, fascinating and informative educational programmes for everyone who shares my passion for animal behaviour and training!
At the start of my career, I was lucky enough to be mentored by, and then work alongside, John Fisher – the original ‘dog whisperer’.
As a result of John’s experience, knowledge and support, I succeeded in building a career that has my heart and soul at its very centre. Nearly 30 years on, and I am still just as passionate about helping dogs, cats and their owners, using kind, force-free methods - and getting great results using the science and art of positive reinforcement.
Now though, I believe I have another role too – helping others to fulfill their potential as trainers and behaviourists, through education, coaching, mentoring and occasional hand-holding, (because sometimes the very best trainers seem to lack confidence in themselves).
The reality is that to be a brilliant behaviourist, you need to be an exceptional dog trainer. And to be a superlative trainer, you need to understand behaviour inside and out.
I’m here to help and guide you with both.

Why your dog`s harness needs to fit like a bra!

It`s been almost a week since we collected our Bliss and brought her home to our family. It`s been an incredible journey so far, as you would have seen from my daily updates. She`s settled in well and is having a wonderful time getting to know her new home and family.
Bliss is a Japanese Spitz, a small-to-medium-sized dog breed that originated in Japan. They are known for their white, fluffy coats, triangular ears, and alert, intelligent expressions. Here are some key characteristics and information about the
Japanese Spitz:
Appearance: The Japanese Spitz has a thick, pure white double coat that is straight and stands off from the body. They have a pointed muzzle, black nose, and small, dark eyes. Their ears are pointed and stand erect. They have a compact, muscular build and carry their tails over their backs.
Size: They typically weigh between 11-20 pounds and stand 12-15 inches tall at the shoulder.
Temperament: Japanese Spitz are known for being loyal, affectionate, and intelligent. They are energetic and playful, and enjoy activities such as agility training and playing fetch.
Training: Japanese Spitz are intelligent and eager to please, which makes them relatively easy to train with positive reinforcement.
Grooming: Japanese Spitz have a thick, fluffy coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangling.
Overall, the Japanese Spitz is a beautiful, loyal, and intelligent breed that can make a great companion for the right owner!
Here`s a picture of Bliss and I, and a photo of Bliss` dad.
