There are many reasons why our dogs don’t listen to us. These include:

1. They don’t understand what is required of them

2. The reward for not listening is far greater than the reward for listening

3. There is a breakdown in communication

4. They don’t trust us

5. They are over - aroused

Be patient. Deal with the underlying cause. Everything else will fall into place.

It snowed recently, and to my delight, people refrained from posting photos of the event as if it were some miracle. Well done. Obviously, common sense prevailed.

Here's another piece of common sense. If you know anyone that has a dog n the family, you'd be mad not to buy them my book, TO BE FRANK as Christmas present. If you've already got one on order, welcome to the enlightened club.

And if you buy it straight from my website, I'll scribble a cheeky message on the inside cover! www.dogami.co.uk
In the meantime, a somewhat early salutation, but wishing you all a cool Yule ☺️
