Keeping your kids and their visiting friends safe is obviously very important - but it’s also worth considering whether they’re safe when visiting their friends homes that have dogs.

Bank holiday weekends - the perfect time to practice settling in pubs!

This week is ‘Dog Bite Prevention Week’.

https://www.thefamilydog.com/a/2148085958/XBWGFfkt

No one ever thinks a bite will come from their dog.
There is a HUGE myth that only bad dogs bite.
But even the VERY BEST dogs can bite when they are pushed past their limits.
It's what we do that matters!

This week the Dial Method can be bought direct at a bargain price - for one week only - as we know how important bite prevention is.

Ideally all dog lovers...

🩵 would have a clear understanding of who dogs are

🩷 could read and respond to dog body language

🧡 wouldn't accidentally put dogs in situations they can't handle

💛 know how to act safely around dogs

There’s a DIY version with videos and e-workbook that you can complete yourself - but if you'd like a helping hand feel free to get in touch. I’m a certified Dial Guide and can deliver the Dial and help tailor it just for you, together we’ll create a plan that works for you, your dog and your lifestyle!

8 years ago today we brought Chilli home - and it was the best decision ever 💗

I’m excited to share The Dial Method™️ with even more pet parents and families in 2025.

As a Dial Guide my goal is to help:
⭐️ You understand your dog
⭐️ Your dog understand how to live in your world
⭐️ You both create your best life together

It’s easy to understand. Clear to implement. Kind to dogs … and humans!

Exciting times ahead 🙌🏻

In the past five years, 1,000 postal workers have had a finger partly or fully bitten off through a letterbox. Many others have experienced horrific, life-changing injuries, too. Why is this problem suddenly so much worse?

I love second hand bookshops and visited Pitlochry station bookshop on Tuesday but *be warned* A LOT of second hand dog related books are out of date and contain some VERY dodgy information on training and behaviour. I wanted to buy most of them to get them out of circulation! 📚 🔥

Our Second-Hand bookshop will be opening in the Stables Courtyard soon, but we need your help to fill the shelves! If you have some books that you would like to donate, then they would be very gratefully received! Just drop them off with our staff members in the Information Hub.

All proceeds from second-hand book sales go towards caring for our incredible 18th century house and estate.

Saw some unexpected animals yesterday.
Firstly an otter 🦦 in our street (not an April Fool - neighbours have seen it too).
Then out walking we came across alpacas and a donkey pushmepullyou!

I’m excited to share that I am a certified Family Dog Mediator after completing the groundbreaking L.E.G.S course by Kim Brophey.

I really enjoy working with family dogs and creating solutions that work for both the humans and their canine companions.
Family Dog Mediation is a great addition to my toolbox as it looks at dog behaviour from a fresh perspective and provides easy hacks for struggles that are simple for families to fit into their lives - what’s not to love about that?!

Kim is an applied ethologist and a powerful leading voice in the international dog behaviour and training industry and L.E.G.S combines multiple scientific disciplines.

If you’re interested in finding out more about how Family Dog Mediation could help you and your dog please do get in touch. 🐾
