After more than five years, Anna Wilde Dog Training is coming to an end this month.

I'm incredibly proud to have worked with almost 400 dogs and their owners during that time. From recall, reactivity and loose lead walking to giving puppies the very best start through my puppy courses, it's been a privilege to help so many families build stronger relationships with their dogs.

Running this business has taught me so much about problem-solving, patience and building relationships with people from all walks of life. These are skills I'll carry with me into whatever comes next.

Thank you to every client, fellow trainer and friend who has supported me over the years. I couldn't have done it without you.

On Thursday the 20th of August at 7pm Trevor Cooper, dog law pro, is hosting a live webinar about the legal elements you need to know if you have a reactive dog, or if you simply want to know what some of your legal responsibilities are as a dog owner.

Invitation to Take Part in a Dog Behaviour Research Survey (18+)

Dear All,

My name is Harry Bull, and I am an undergraduate student at Harper Adams University undertaking research into UK public knowledge of dog behaviour and aggression management.

As part of my study, I am investigating how a novel educational poster may influence this knowledge. I would be very grateful if you could take part in my online survey, which takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Participants must be 18 or over.

You can access the survey via the link below:

Or, via the QR code within the poster.
Thank you very much for your time and support.

Kind regards,
Harry Bull.

Such an important time of year for supervision and using baby gates or closed doors when you can't actively supervise.
Children can learn - but learning includes making mistakes - don't expect children to remember the rules - they won't - they are learning.
At Christmas dogs who are already stressed because of visitors, noise, strong odours, food, crackers bangs etc. could lash out by the final straw of a child stepping on their foot - or walking too close to their favourite chew toy.

If you think your dog needs a break - let them chill upstairs - or in a room with a baby gate so they can still be 'with' everyone - but you don't have to actively supervise - you can relax and enjoy yourself too. Christmas is a busy day - it is impossible to supervise all of the time - so plan ahead and use gates - to give yourself time to cook and not leaving your child or dog vulnerable to an unfortunate but preventable outcome.

We think that teaching children to safely interact with dogs is so important – do you agree?

With children likely to spend more time around dogs during December, it’s important that everyone can keep safe and enjoy the festive season 🎄

Our education programme is now online: https://bit.ly/4iwmTb4

We have created four free self-led online video workshops to help children learn how to behave around furry friends. If you are a parent or guardian of a child aged 7-11, or work in a school or club, we’d love for you to try them out!
