For anyone looking for an appropriately sized muzzle (you will need room for your dog to be able to do a full pant)

We are inundated with messages regarding muzzles for XL Bullies. First of all can I say that we are deeply sorry that you are all so worried about your dogs, it seems that the actions of a few are affecting the lives of so many. and it is humbling to see so many of you being proactive.

We do have muzzles that will fit some of the XL Bullies, those with leaner faces will fit the 110 and 107 in the size 6, others will need the Don pare 117 Giant in a Clifford or Digby size.
There is information on The Muzzle Shop website on how to measure and we also help with sizing. Please email us with any queries @ [email protected] as we struggle to keep up with messages on SM.

Isla is a Pitbull and is wearing the 107 size 6.

In light of all of the media regarding XL bully breeds and the upcoming ban I just wanted to say the following:
Despite not training at the moment, I will 100% offer whatever support I can to owners of xl bullies free of charge. The advice is currently to get ahead of the game if you will be applying for an exemption. This will include neutering, making sure they are happy on the lead and getting them muzzle trained now (you then have the time to introduce it and get them comfortable with it without rushing the process) which will be part of the conditions of exemption. Lots of my colleagues are preparing information and videos for you, also free of charge. Even if all I can do is signpost you to someone else, I am here for you and your dogs at what must feel like a really scary time x

Anyone fancy some scent work? My lovely friend Nat Dolts is running a couple of workshops in Gloucestershire, in conjunction with Dog-in-a-Box training. There are two options: one for beginners, and a progression workshop for dogs who have a basic understanding of scent work using napier gun oil. To book, follow this link and click workshops: https://app.squarespacescheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=23462501&fbclid=IwAR1NXvQfzK2j57UzgLvJO9RC4S2Y5FZQO9LhLpvSF6labqfmJld98hoSUMQ

Further to the post the other day regarding my partnership with tug-e-nuff toys, I am yet to make a decision. A statement has now been made by Lauren Langman of Absolute Dogs confirming that she has, at the very least, been breeding too many dogs. She has said she is ceasing breeding immediately, we will see what happens.

As for the toy side of things, I am in talks with another British toy manufacturer about partnering with them. It's a company I have followed (and bought from) for a long time, so I will keep you updated.

For clarity, I do not receive direct payment for being an affiliate with tug-e-nuff, any commission I get from sales goes directly back into getting more toys for training and demos, and none of this will affect any decision I make when deciding whether I stay with them or not. My decision will be based solely on what actions occur with the directors of the company.

Statement regarding tug-e-nuff brand partnership.

Firstly, sorry I've been off the radar for so long- big house move and some personal/family issues to get through.

Some of you may be aware of the rumours circulating on facebook about a large training provider who I was working alongside several years ago. (I will get to how this links with tug-e-nuff in a moment). I decided to part ways with this particular training company some time ago for various reasons, however it appears that they may be essentially running a puppy farm. Whilst the evidence is not concrete at this point in time (and I am *absolutely* against trial by facebook), the vast numbers of pups that have been registered speaks volumes in my opinion, and who knows how many unregistered ones there are too. Not one of the team has addressed this alleged issue, and any comments or posts about it are being swiftly deleted.

Unfortunately, part of this team is one of the managing directors of tug-e-nuff. Although he isn't active in the business, he has been asked to resign, and this has been ignored. As such, the director who actually runs the business is looking to resign himself, which would be a great shame. I still stand by the quality and ethical sourcing of these toys, but I will not support and line the pockets of a puppy farmer if this turns out to be true. I have a lot of respect for the active director as he is, thus far, the only one to address the issue, and his actions in offering his resignation if the other director stays tells me everything I need to know about his integrity.

I will keep you updated, but as someone who has an ex puppy farm breeding bitch, I know first hand the devastation it causes, and I will *absolutely* not support, nor line the pockets, of anyone involved in this.

Have you recently bought a rottie pup in Gloucestershire?

We're urging families to get in touch if they've recently purchased a 12/13 weeks old rottie pup in the local area.
We have spoken to 3 homes now that have needed our help with pups unfortunately suffering with possible spinal/neurological condition, as well as other illnesses.
If you might be the owner of a new addition that is struggling with similar conditions to the above, and would be happy to speak to us, please call on 01452 740300 or email [email protected]

Thank you 🐾

Sorry for the radio silence! It's been ridiculously busy one way or another! Just within the last four weeks we have been to Cornwall (to celebrate the wedding of a long-term client turned friend), covid finally got me, and I sold my house. So Synergy Dogs will be on the move soon (fingers crossed). Hope you and your furry/feathered friends are coping in the heat.
