Dog Rescue Work
You may be aware that in July 2011 we completed a 5 day training, instructing and handling course at the
Darlington Dogs Trust where we worked with a rescue dog each (see pictures below). The point of the
course was to help the rescue dogs which have spent a long period of time in kennels to achieve the required
elements of the British kennel club good citizen test to the bronze level. This will hopefully help make the dogs
more attractive to the public but more importantly it gave the dogs some individual contact with a person and
let them bond and above all made life a little more interesting from the kennel walls they normally spend most
of their time. Unfortunately they now have to just hope a new owner is soon to be found. Both the dogs we
worked with passed 10 out of 10 of the elements.
If you want to help or support the dogs trust you can contact them at

The dogs looking for new homes are on the Dogs Trust website if you want to see if they have found new homes yet.

John Rogerson book " In Tune With Your Dog" buy it now
An owners guide to training and improving behaviour.
John Rogerson is the founder and principal lecturer of the Northern Centre for Canine Behaviour and is now widely
acclaimed as the world’s leading dog trainer and behaviourist, having pioneered the majority of techniques that have
now become standard practice in behaviour therapy and training. John is the author of no fewer than eight books,
has produced two DVDs and has run courses on training and behaviour.
From the inside jacket cover:
From the choice of a puppy and its early training, John Rogerson moves on to dog behaviour and the common problems
that can arise - from jumping up and barking for attention to more serious problems like fighting and biting. He shows
how, by understanding the cause of the problem, and learning to re-channel natural instincts, even the most anti-social
behaviour can, with patience, be reversed. He shows how the most humane methods are also the most effective and how
the process of training itself can be a pleasurable experience, strengthening the bond between owner and dog.
Offering a fascinating insight into the mind of a dog, and a wealth of sound practical advice, this is an essential book
for every dog owner - whether the animal is a family pet or a high-bred competition dog.
IN TUNE WITH YOUR DOG will make for wiser owners and better behaved dogs - and a richer relationship between the two.
