Get ready for Silver!

Just wanted to wish 3 of my Psychology dogs - 'Honey', 'Ozzy' and 'Kiki' - ' A massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!
Honey and Ozzy are 10 Today and Kiki is 9 Today.
They have helped me over the years with so many dogs, especially Honey - she is my true sidekick.
They are also more importantly my family, my companions, my friends. I love them all very dearly and Thank them for being part of my life.
Happy Birthday - Honey, Ozzy and Kiki, enjoy your special treats!

YIPPEE!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO PASSED THEIR 'BRONZE LEVEL' LAST NIGHT.
Well done to 'Tamzin & Kiki', 'Ellie & Cassie', 'Jane & Ruby' and 'Diane & Dyson'.
You all worked really hard and your dogs did you proud.
A big 'Thank you' again to our examiner ' Pat White' who always does her best to put eveyone at ease throughout the night.

I think you worked hard and should be proud of yourselves and your dogs. You even managed a 2 minute stay with the added distractions of the annoying fly!!!!!!
Well done!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BRONZE LEVEL AWARD who all passed last night. Yippee!!
Well done everyone, your dogs did you proud.
Thanks again to our amazing examiner who makes everyone feel at ease.
So congratulations - Minnie, Buster, Bella, Billy, Shadow, Ellie and Coco. Silver is the next stop

I just wanted to say a great big 'Thank you' to everyone who attended and took part in our 'Fun Dog Show' today at the Auckley show.
All the proceeds are going to be donated to the English Bull Terrier Rescue.
Today was an absolute great day with an amazing number of people entering the 10 classes we had.
This made my job judging very difficult indeed as I could only award 3 dogs in each class a rosette so there were many dogs who unfortunately were not placed, if I had more rosettes I would have awarded many more deserving dogs.
Every dog I saw today was adorable, I was in doggy heaven, what a great job to have; meeting and greeting all these wonderful dogs and their owners.
Can I also say a 'GREAT BIG THANK YOU' to my Treibball demonstration team - Linda with Sadie, Marie with Maisey, Bill with Chloe, Gill with Scooby and Rebecca with Lola. You all put on a great demonstration and your dogs did you proud. It was great to watch!!!!

GREAT NEWS - Congratulations to the 'Silver Level Award' owners and dogs who all PASSED on Tuesday night.

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER IS A TIME FOR HUMANS - NOT DOGS!!!!

Preparations for your dogs tonight.

1) Take your dog for a walk when it is still daylight and well before any fireworks are likely to begin. (don't worry if your dog misses his/her evening walk- 1 miss won't harm your dog, but taking them out at the wrong time could take a long time to overcome!)

2) Keep doors and windows closed, curtains shut.

3) Check your microchip details are up to date - a scared dog who gets out is more likely to be reunited if they are microchipped.

4) Give your dog a den to hide in if they so desire.

5)Play music with a repetitive beat to help mask the sound.

6) Do not comfort an anxious dog as this can escalate the behaviour even more.

7) Never punish your dog - it's not their fault that they are scared. Loud bangs, flashing lights, burning fires - only a human can love these!

Please keep your beloved dogs safe tonight!

Well done everyone!

Thanks again to Pat White our examiner who did a wonderful job and made everyone feel at ease.

Had a wonderful day at Auckley Dog Show
It was a pleasure to judge the show, but choosing was a difficult choice. All the dogs entered were worthy of winning but I could only award 3 places in each class. Everyones dog is a winner!

Thank you to everyone who entered, it was for a worthy poodle charity who will appreciate the funds raised to help continue there important work of rehoming poodles of all ages.

I would also like to say a 'Big Thank You' to the people from my my training centre who were kindly the 'Agility Display Team'. Each and everyone of you made me proud, you dogs were fantastic and they showed new people that training can be fun.
So thank you so much to Linda, Pam & Bill, Loren, Dan, Gill and Hannah for being part of this charity event.

Also an extra thank you to 'Linda' who kindly transported my large agility equipment for me, i really appreciated your kind help.

We will make next year even better with not only the fun dog show classes but we will also be adding the much loved dog sport games- tunnel dash, best high jump, egg and spoon race and much much more.............

See you next year for more fun!

Vomiting, increased urination, excessive drinking, seizures(fits), in-coordination, panting/heavy breathing.

AHT say - Please note there are other signs of antifreeze poisoning, so stay vigilant.

If you suspect your pet has been poisoned, seek veterinary help IMMEDIATELY.

Just wanted to share my achievement at the Northern Counties Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club Handling Night.
I won 'HANDLER OF THE YEAR 2012'.
My wonderful hansom boy 'OZZY' (one of my psychology dogs as well as a great show dog and most of all a mummies boy)helped me achieve this. My trophy is proudly sat in my living room, the wine i won is chilling in the fridge and Ozzy won a collar and lead which we hope to get soon.
A great night for handler and her dog.

I would like to share this article about the ' Raw Instinct Dog Training Centre that appeared in the 'Doncaster Free Press' on Thursday 8 th November.
Enjoy!
