How to Keep Your Dog Cool in the Summer Heat

It’s almost Summer which means for a lot of us; as we come out of lockdown, we will be preparing for trips away, being able to go and sit in the garden and enjoy the sun, visit a beer garden or two with friends and family. It might also mean meeting up with the new …

Positive Reinforcement Training

As Pet Parents, sometimes it can be easy to lose our patience while training our dogs, especially when they refuse to follow commands you know that they clearly understand. Maybe it’s the language barrier, or our dogs just deciding they’d rather not do what we’d like them to do at that moment.  Either way, sometimes …

We Began to Wonder About Calling the Vet…

Roscoe began itching maybe a month or so after we moved off the breeder’s recommended puppy food and onto new adult food (this was before we were creating our own Bounce and Bella grain-free food).

How Did Roscoe’s Recall Improve?

There had been a difficulty… Our first dog, Sorrel, never really was that great with her recall. She got better after that time Gill had to come back from work to try and coax her out of the field with ham, sweet words, tears and occasional fist shaking. However she was never great. You’d have …
