Dogs are much easier to train when you offer them a reward. These include food, toy play, tummy rubs or simply having your full attention. What does your dog respond best to?

While some fruit and veg are good for dogs, others aren’t – and it’s really important to know which is which if you want to avoid a trip to the vets this Christmas.
Did you know that Autumn walks can be dangerous for dogs? That acorns are toxic and conkers can make your dog really ill? We share the signs of poisoning to help keep your dog safe
A survey by the PDSA found that 1.4 million pets have gained weight since March 2020, on top of a growing pet obesity epidemic. Is your dog overweight? We all know that to lose weight your dog needs to eat less, which is fairly easy to implement– after all, you are in charge of what they eat.
