What’s wrong with Fur-babies and fur-kids… by Ross McCarthy

What’s wrong with Fur-babies and fur-kids… by Ross McCarthy

Dogs have survived for centuries, just fine without wearing clothes, being carted around in some kind of case, being imposed on by people who believe that they should always behave like fluffy little people in polite society. I would like to see a return to us treating dogs like dogs. They deserve nothing less.  All over the internet and social media sites, people are posting images of their fur-babies and fur-kids…and just what, you may

Getting your dog to listen to you by Ross McCarthy

Getting your dog to listen to you by Ross McCarthy

Do you feel like your voice is like white noise to your dog? Here’s how to gain back authority in the house. I know so many people with dogs who have attended training classes and their dogs respond to all learnt commands in the training environment, when food is involved or simply when they want to. Responding when they want to however, generally doesn’t fit with when the NEED to or when you want them

Guarding dog breeds by Ross McCarthy

Guarding dog breeds by Ross McCarthy

Whilst we commonly hear that many breeds require specialist handling and training and a more enthusiastic and knowledgeable owner than other types of dog, this is never truer than with many of the dogs that sit within this group. Oh, this is unreservedly my favourite group of dogs. I am not yet sure why people are attracted to certain types of dog, but the guarding group are certainly my top dogs. I share my home

Training multiple dogs by Ross McCarthy

Training multiple dogs by Ross McCarthy

I have had to learn how to not only manage multiple dogs, how to train dogs, but how to put it both together and train multiple dogs concurrently. So, for those of you that own two or more dogs…here, on a plate are the answers that I have worked hard to find out, since my teenage years at the GSD training club banging my head against the proverbial wall! As a teenager, I went to my

Home Alone – Separation Anxiety by Ross McCarthy

Home Alone – Separation Anxiety by Ross McCarthy

Dogs are pack animals and are not suited to solitary lives and when we take a puppy into our home, we become the family pack. Though dogs are pack animals they can adapt to spending time in their own company without severe psychological problems. Leaving dogs alone for long periods regularly of course is not satisfactory and is not commensurate with dog care and ownership. For most well-adjusted dogs, anxieties rarely develop to the point of

Why dog attacks happen…and how to prevent them

Why dog attacks happen…and how to prevent them

Well, at the moment that is the subject on the lips of many people. Over the past few weeks, I have been on the Radio discussing fatal dog attacks – as have many other dog specialists, MP’s, lawyers , concerned and interested parties. Since the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) came in to force after devastating dog attacks and subsequently failed to bring about the safety that this kneejerk legislation was supposed to…everyone has been wondering

Puppy in the Middle by Ross McCarthy

Puppy in the Middle by Ross McCarthy

Obviously when one works with people to alter canine behaviour problems, the human aspect is often the greater part – a high percentage of problems that I deal with in dogs would never be seen if that dog lived in another environment. I have had more than a few cases recently that present me with so many questions about people, relationships and our love for our canine chums and moreover how perhaps our irrational beliefs

Spoil Your Dog

Spoil Your Dog

Spoil your dog? Well, it’s a life choice – with consequences I was sitting in my office earlier today talking to a new client of mine, Cheryl, with a dog that had recently bitten both of her legs badly enough to require stitches and quite some time off work. The dog was a Labrador named Jimmy aged two. He was as wide as the average coffee table and looked as though he was about sixteen

Equipment used in modifying canine behaviour

Equipment used in modifying canine behaviour

Basic Dog Training When dogs need training we begin with the basic essentials like a collar and lead and for those people who make the effort the results are generally good. A dog, like a child, needs an education to prepare it for life in our world and like a child if it does not learn what it can and cannot do it will eventually do what suits itself purely by instinct and conflict with
