Dog Training the Gentle Way
This Website is a major resource for people looking for dog behavioural and training articles. Or help with Behaviour Counselling,  Dog Training, Puppy Classes or Individual Assessments.

My latest article, I believe is a must read for all dog and cat owners, and covers Health Concerns Vaccinations

My articles cover many of today's dog behavioural problems, and are on the forefront of behaviour and training knowledge. They also question many of today's common beliefs and advice.

These include The Alpha Myth and Positive Only Trainers. If you read nothing else, then read these two articles They will open your mind to how dogs really learn.

MY DOGS

These are my current Dogs: They all work in my practice dealing with Interdog Aggression or fear. Three of them are working Gundogs.

Unfortunately though he is in this picture, I have had to say a last very tearful and sad goodbye to two of my dogs within a year of each other

my much loved German Shepherd Kai. He contracted Malignant Lymphoma and became very ill.

12 months later my Springer Spaniel Edward had to be put down at the age of 13 with Liver failure

I was with both of them right up to the end Kai died on Wednesday 11th April. 2012 and Edward on Monday 25th March 2013.

My friend Ian, my Vet for many years, helped them go peacefully with no more pain and suffering. Those who know me will understand

This is always the very worst part of owning pets. If I could change anything, I would love to change the life span of our loving companions.

My Ten Commandments for Pets says it all really.
