For a few months now I’ve been working on producing a fact sheet for Dig It Dog Training Club, with some help from fellow instructors, all about socialisation. I think it’s one of the most misunderstood words in dog training, … Continue reading
Photographer David Finchett was snapping away on the Agility ring we ran in at Shrewsbury a few weeks ago. I was really pleased with the four photographs he got of Guinness and as I haven’t got that many agility shots of … Continue reading
Okay so this bat aint so scary, but seriously, it’s actually a really unpleasant time for dogs at the moment. Halloween, as fun as it can be, is full of people in weird-looking costumes that smell funny, all very confusing … Continue reading
On Friday evening Dig It held its first ever Rally Show! I’ve previously taught some Rally workshops, after learning about the sport at PDTI a few years ago and then spending many hours reading the rules, trying it out and watching … Continue reading
The nights are drawing in! Isn’t it funny (and annoying) how you find yourself repeating those clichés your grandmother and your mum used to say… you know, right about the time you think “I’m starting to sound like my mother!”. But … Continue reading
This weekend we made our proper Kennel Club return, 8 runs across two days, we were officially back since the injury. Saturday started off amazing! I won’t go in to too much detail as if you’ve watched my vlog from … Continue reading
My first ever vlog! Go easy on me. I thought I’d do something different and try vlogging throughout the day at Shrewsbury, rather than just writing about it afterwards and filming my runs. Let me know what you think! I’m … Continue reading
I’m very excited as this weekend is our first proper agility show of the year! Technically Adams in May was the first, but I only did 1 agility and 1 jumping run, plus was sick to my stomach all day, … Continue reading
I’m lazy. There I said it! To be honest I’ve never tried to hide it. As well as being lazy, I’m also extremely busy (odd combination I know!). Therefore I really struggle to implement and stick to a fitness plan! More … Continue reading
I’m so excited! Last night I finally collected and fitted my new car set up. After a few months of looking around and contemplating whether to have a divide or not, get a removable box/crate type or a built in system … Continue reading
The Miniature Schnauzer! Ever since I was little I pestered my Mum & Dad for a dog. When my brother asked for another rabbit and was told no I’d be right in there “can we have a dog?”. They started to … Continue reading
There’s a lot of skepticism around the claimed benefits of aloe vera and limited science to back it up. I’ve got my own skeptical views too but there’s a few products I use and like so I thought I’d share … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve had a puppy in my life! 5 years ago in fact! I’ve invited fellow blogger Chloe from Mesmorisingme to share her compelling and heart-touching story about the lessons she’s learnt since welcoming a new puppy … Continue reading
During a recent holiday to Cornwall I was introduced to the wonder of Trago Mills. If you’ve never been basically Trago Mills is a massive store that sells EVERYTHING. From lights to carpets to kitchen utensils to books to chain saws to pet … Continue reading
My best friends Cocker Spaniel Freddie is staying with me for a few days. I love having Freddie. He’s a very ‘busy’ dog so a few days is enough, but he’s just so lovely and sweet natured. It’s fascinating for … Continue reading
I’ve been admiring HiK9 beds for well over a year now, ever since I saw photographs of Devon Dogs using them during training sessions and then some friends had their own. In a recent conversation Lauren Langman of Devon Dogs & Absolute Dogs told … Continue reading
This morning a notification popped up on my phone telling me that lots of folk were tweeting about #NationalDogDay (don’t you just love technology)! Who knew! There’s a day for dogs?! It’s hardly surprising that man’s best friends has got a … Continue reading
Recently I shared with you my current agility playlist and the kind of tracks that get me going ready for a competition, especially for when walking courses. I asked a bunch of competitors what they like to listen to and … Continue reading
Today is Guinness’ 6th birthday! He’ll be getting lots of fuss, long walks and fun! 6 feels pretty old, but the truth is he still runs around the place like a hooligan, he still plays all day and sleeps all … Continue reading
