Filming at the KC headquarters

We had a lovely day today filming at the Kennel Club's headquarters in London. Caroline Kisko told us all about everything the Kennel Club does, including their extensive campaigning work and their 'Be Dog Friendly' scheme to encourage places and venues to become dog friendly.

We also met Ciara Farrell from the library who told us all about the Kennel Club gallery and showed us some of the fascinating collections from the library.

Seasons Greetings :)

We would like to wish all of our members happy holidays, we hope you enjoy the festive season with your four legged companions.

As dog lovers, we're well used to the concept of getting up and going outdoors.  This month’s issue has suggestions for outdoor activities you might not have considered.  There’s Tracking and Carting, and for the very fitness minded, we continue our series on Canicross.

If you're looking at training, we have videos on Puppy Socialisation and the Recall element of the Good Citizen’s Dog Scheme.  We even find out what it's like Working as aDog Trainer.

This month sees the launch of a new series of videos where we review different dog products.  With the help of our ever willing office dogs Sandy and Skyler, we tried out the Nina Ottosson games: the Dog Brick and Tornado.  Both get a two paws up from Kevin from the Naturally Happy Dogs team.

Finally, Di Johnson, one of the top Show Judges in the country, shares with us her views on how dog shows have changed over the years.
