We had a really interesting seminar with Sian Ryan last week, we discovered all about dog's natural impulsiveness and how the DIAS scale works. We tried it out on office dog Skyler and discovered she is fairly high up on the chart - not surprisingly!
Sian had some great ideas about how to train some self control, especially useful for those dogs who do score highly for impulsiveness.
Dog and Bone and Andrea Misto are bringing the (sometimes very lucrative) activity of Truffle Hunting to the UK!
Did you know there are a number of locations around the UK where truffles can be found? Dogs are perfect for helping to sniff out these highly prized fungi, and in April 2019, Andrea Misto is coming over from Italy to teach us how to train our dogs to find these truffles, known as "the diamond of the kitchen"

We're excited to be bringing new products to Dog and Bone.
Available now are the filmed seminars Dr Ian Dunbar did with us in 2017 - they can be purchased individually or as a set of all 4.
Coming soon - 101 uses for a Poo Bag book - pre-orders can be taken now.
We're very excited to be hosting Sian Ryan in September. Sian is new to Dog and Bone but we feel we can gain some very useful insights from her expertise on Impulsivity and Self-Control.
Many thanks to Kamal Fernandez for a very interesting and useful couple of days.
Day one was all about how to make your training classes fun and effective.One useful idea Kamal shared was the importance of attracting clients who share the same dog-training ethos and that one way to help achieve is by having the right website.It's something many of us might not have thought of. Kamal explained how much the images and colours used can have a big impact on the impression the website gives. He also demo-ed some fun games to play with clients and their dogs.
Day 2 was all you need to know about shaping. There were more practical demonstrations, this time, both with experienced and unexperienced dogs and even a game volunteer from the audience. All in all, a lot of fun.
We're offering a chance to purchase Haqihana at discount prices. You can get the brown reflective leads and harnesses - no longer aviailable from Haqihana themselves - and a wide choice of leads with the lario style clip.

If was lovely to welcome Brenda Aloff back, this time to look at Canine Body Language. I think many who were there didn't realise how much they didn't know about this essential subject until looking at dogs through Brenda's eyes.
As one reviewer put it "Brenda was a fantastic speaker" which was feedback we heard over again. Always engaging and knowledgeable, we can't wait until next time.
