RSPCA concern for pill-popping pets by Ross McCarthy

RSPCA concern for pill-popping pets by Ross McCarthy

  RSPCA Concern As A New Drug Is Launched For ‘Pill-Popping’ Pets. Society alerts pet owners that animals suffer and die in drug testing. The RSPCA is sounding the alarm as yet another drug – an antidepressant – is made available to our increasingly ‘pill-popping’ pets by pharmaceutical companies.

Prevent Bad Dog Behaviour by Ross McCarthy

Prevent Bad Dog Behaviour by Ross McCarthy

The prevention of dog behaviour problems Behaviour problems in dog are incredibly common, due to the fact that most dog behaviour that we deem as a ‘problem’ are normal canine behaviour in an abnormal (for the dog) human world. The problems vary in seriousness, but they almost always affect the bond between dog and owner over a period of time.

Dog’s that steal or scavenge food by Colin Tennant

Dog’s that steal or scavenge food by Colin Tennant

This year during my visits to private clients in London I have been receiving many complaints from dog owners who are fed up with their dogs’ disgusting habits of pilfering from kitchen bins. Their words not mine. There is one lady with a Westie that snaps up any thing it finds rotting in the midday sun in Hyde Park. She is at her wit’s end as to how to prevent her dog from happily licking

Dog Training Classes by Ross McCarthy

Dog Training Classes by Ross McCarthy

Dog training classes – we only want you if your dog is trained!

Dog Breeding For Temperament by Colin Tennant

Dog Breeding For Temperament by Colin Tennant

  Recently I had a telephone call from a distressed client whose 155 lb Newfoundland had so distressed her, through its bad behaviour, that she was in semi trauma.

Kind and Gentle But Often Ineffective by Ross McCarthy

Kind and Gentle But Often Ineffective by Ross McCarthy

If, like me you do lots of reading with regard to dog training, you will no doubt be aware that food rewards, harnesses, head-collars, gentle voices and an overdose of love and affection is what is required for dog training combined of course with the patience of a saint and you must of course dedicate your entire life to dog training. The whole of society has been making a bizarre move forward under the apparent

LANTRA – Government Standards for Dog Trainers

LANTRA – Government Standards for Dog Trainers

For many years it has been a major concern of dog trainers that general animal behaviourists have considered themselves experts in all matters concerning animals of all species. This is of course impossible due to the enormity of variations within the specific genre of mammals, let alone reptiles and avian, for example. Since 2008 the Government, under the auspices of LANTRA sought to introduce National Occupational Standards for dog behaviourists and trainers. Several leading authorities
