The cluesSo what has heel-work to music got to do with the lost feminine? What even is the lost feminine? Here’s my thoughts.I’ve moved house recently and I was unpacking boxes in the room that was to become my office. As I unpacked, a book fell off the shelf and landed at my feet. The…
‘…….our dog is our canary in the mineshaft of emotion.’ from Kevin Behan, Your Dog Is Your MirrorI first started to notice the effect of my emotions on my dogs with my hamiltonstovare, Jack. It started when I was driving. I used to be quite nervous when I was overtaking. Jack would be curled up on the…
Over the last few months I have been going very much with the flow, as far as the dogs are concerned, but also with life. I want to start a new business around people and their dogs, using the concept of your dog as your guide, starting with my learning’s as the material. There is a…
Hounds are intelligent. Lately I have had the opportunity to spend more time with the dogs, getting to know them better as individuals.

I have been following the Natural Dog Training methods for some weeks now. Mostly pushing for food, to encourage the dogs to invest their energy in me. Things have been going well and I have been enthusing about the process. Then last week we had, what appeared at first, to be a set-back.After pushing for…
So there I was, with 3 dogs, a full-time job, a frustrating life (usual mid-life crisis stuff, there must be something more to this…). I thought it was manageable even then. Once the pup got to a certain age I would be able to start gun-dog training and I would know what I was doing…
I first started getting interested in dog training 5 years ago when I brought home two hamiltonstovare puppies (Jack & Ben).

I had been warned by the breeder that the hamiltonstovare was a strong hunter and couldn’t be relied on off…
