Pets With Problems

Please sign this petition peeps - if we can get 100,000 signatures then parliament has to discuss this.

Here's me doing a presentation on separation anxiety at the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors Veterinary conference - it was a fantastic day with great speakers and I was honoured to be asked to present on the behaviour subject I am most passionate about.

I see this so often - especially with smaller dogs who later become aggressive when they realise they can stand up for themselves - we don't allow bullying in our kids, why let our dogs do it!

Wonderful

We received 7334 responses to this consultation. We’ve analysed the responses and decided to amend the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to ban the use of hand-held remote controlled e-collar devices. We do not intend to ban the use of invisible fencing containment systems, although we will keep the situation under review.
The statutory Code of Practice for the Welfare of Dogs and Code of Practice for the Welfare of Cats will be amended to emphasize that:
invisible fencing containment ...systems should be installed and set up by professionals appropriate training should be provided they should only be used as a last resort

One cat or two - wait for it!

Excellent information all dog owners should know.

With this glorious weather we are having we have to remember that our dogs have to walk around with fur coats on so it is important to keep them in the shade, dont walk them at hot times of day and keep them off pavements and roads - yesterday I put my hand on the road at 5 o'cloclk in the evening and got burnt - remember your dog is not wearing protective shoes. Do you also know the signs that your dog may have heatstroke? Be aware as this can kill. Have a look at what to do - https://rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelf…/… /dogs/health/heatstroke

As you know I am a specialist in separation anxiety in dogs - a condition that I am passionate about and a condition that is eminently fixable. Please have a look at this wonderful blog written by some clients of mine about their journey for a dog that panicked after 11 secs of being alone to a cool calm and relaxed dog. http://www.petswithproblems.co.uk/separat ion-anxiety-succes…

As you know there is a lot of debate at the moment about banning the use of shock collars in England. In my opinion there is no place for the use of these in dog training - they incite fear and pain and nothing more. Please fill in the survey on the link below and help get these implements of torture banned

If you see this before midnight (it closes today)PLEASE take the time to fill it in - it only takes a few minutes and it is so important - only by all voicing their disgust at the use of shock collars on animals can we get the law changed - yes they do cause pain https://consult.defra.gov.uk/…/ban-on-e …/consultation/intro/

Shock collar training vs positive reinforcement training. Same problem, same breed, different approach
Look at the difference in the dogs' body language!!!!!!

Winter warnings - deicer and grit

Today myself and my team spent the day with Ingrid. She devised a course on dog behaviour and body language specific to our needs for our job and daycare. It was brilliantly done and delivered very well. Highly recommend.

Sometimes, no matter how experienced you are or how caring you are as a pet owner, your furry friends can develop behavioural problems for lots of reasons: Environmental, changes in your routine, feline intruders in your cats territory or sibling rivalry etc. Our experience of working with Ingrid and seeking her professional opinion and advice when needed has been excellent. For that reason, we have no hesitation in recommending Ingrid, as do many vet practices in our area, to help you resolve issues and give good practical guidance on finding solutions to your pet's behavioural problems.

Ingrid helped us with our Hungarian vizsla, she is a timid and fearful dog. We got the tools now to deal with different situations that Elza reacts to. It's only been 3 months but we have already made great progress. We are very grateful for all the help and support Ingrid gave us.

Ingrid helped me with my Family of 4 cats with problems

I followed her advice and the result is a much happier situation with the sorting out of a male Burmese cat spraying because he was stressed.

Can recommend her without hesitation and money well spent

Ingrid was so helpful with my rescue Rottie with a desire to squash little dogs on a lead . I can now walk in my local woods with less fear . My dog is also far more responsive !

Great help and support for both our anxious rescue dog Lulu and us. Things have improved and Lulu is certainly calmer now. Good to know help is just an email away.
