Ian and Bernie contacted me after serious concerns over the aggression their 3 year old Golden Cocker Spaniel Oscar displayed towards other dogs.

Sibling behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 30 November 2011
When purchasing a dog it’s important to spend as much time research the breed. Dogs are pack animals and have a strong pack structure the behavioural traits of breed can vary significantly.

George is 7 years old and his owner Katie arranged to come and see me because of George’s behaviour towards customers who approach him when he’s at Katie’s pet shop. He can be a touch snarly and assertive at times and Katie also believes that he is fearful and nervous around men. We had a [...]
Dog behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 3 November 2011
These feisty 8 month old brothers belong to Claire, Jim and their son Jake and are beginning to dictate to their owners as well as being generally bad mannered when greeting visitors and pulling on their leads when on a walk which is why I received a call.

Darcy is a rescue dog who has recently been re-homed by Katie and her partner and is causing some problems for her new pack.

Puppy Behavioural Assessment with 12 week old Trevor the Beagle. · 9 September 2011
”Spoilt for choice” is a phrase that springs to mind when I see Trevor with his toy selection. In my opinion this amount of choice for a dog is unnecessary and can cause problems. Dr Bruce Fogle writes “Don’t overwhelm your dog with toys. Initially provide a maximum of three, each with a unique “feel” in the [...]

Welsh Terriers were originally bred for catching vermin and guarding property but nowadays make ideal companion dogs.
