S4E2 - What's in a name‪?‬ Gundogs and Guard dogs

    • Pets & Animals

What’s in a name?

The usual cheery moaning kicks of the new season. Cars, cages, hotels and jump pens.

A couple of mentions of the new book, (that is out now!) before the main topic of multiple dog ownership.

The best age to bring another dog into the home along with the benefits, the drawbacks and impacts of training and management in a multi-dog household.

Exercising, playing, training and developing relationships with individual dogs within the family group.



This episode culminates in a fascinating discussion about various training disciplines and the essential understanding of training, timing and consistency to achieve results in whatever aspect of dog training.



Lez and Ross have both been in the industry professionally for well over 20 years and each has been involved with dogs for over 40 years.

Whilst sensibly they have stayed away from the ‘limelight’ regarding TV offers, they have regularly been on national and local radio, spoken at national events at NDWA, CFBA, and Kennel Club / Crufts events as well as bespoke speaking engagements for the Dog Safety Education Executive (DogSEE).

Ross wrote for Dogs Monthly Magazine for over 12 years and Lez was the first lady feature writer for a national Shooting Magazine (both Sporting Gun and Sporting Shooter).

They were also 'study buddies' and were the first in the UK to achieve a Masters Degree (Professional Practice) in Canine Behaviour and Psychology in 2011. They work well together and apart, support and work with dog rescue organisations and train professional dog trainers and behaviourists.

Different as chalk and cheese, but maybe not as different as they like to think.
