In September and October, we will be speaking with Caroline Lewis about her work as an ‘expert witness’ for dogs and the difficult subject of ‘dangerous dogs’ and the XL Bully situation in the UK.’ Caroline is a dog behaviour consultant and runs ‘⁠Help at Hand Dog Training & Behaviour⁠’  in the U.K. who specialises in deaf & blind dogs, rescue dogs, adolescent dogs, and the plight of the XL Bully. I have known Caroline as a fellow colleague, for years and have loved getting to know her during her ‘deaf dogs’ series last year here on the podcast and am looking forward to this year’s podcasts too.  Caroline mentioned this resource during the podcast: ‘This is the direct link to the solicitors I recommend, and it should take you straight in to the section for owners. I think it's a bargain price for what you get. And I have worked with this practice and can state they are brilliant: ⁠https://doglaw.co.uk/dog-law-sos/.'⁠ If you would like to join me on the podcast and share your Slow Dog Movement story, please get in touch.

    Our 'A Dog's Pace' podcast is recorded every month and includes member interviews, special guests and other SLOW focused stories and content. The entire podcast is available on our⁠ PATREON⁠ page at the AMBASSADOG level, and as a portion on SPOTIFY for your friends and family. Many of our podcasts ARE available in full, so ask your dog loving friends to start listening! In our January podcast, Kirsty Falk, our co-director, and I, talk about dogs and ‘proprioception.’ A definition of this term is: ‘Proprioception is the body’s ability to sense its own position, movement, and actions in space without relying on visual input. It is often referred to as the ‘sixth sense’ and is essential for coordination, balance, and motor control.’ (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/proprioception and https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/proprioception). Our dog nerd meanderings and concrete visual examples provide a practical foundation for dog guardians to start trying this out, if they haven’t already. I mentioned the ‘Ortodon Sensory Orthopaedic Foot Massage Floor Mat’ tool, in the podcast. I have provided a link to it here.
