Hello there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m thrilled to have you here as I begin sharing my journey and a bit of what I’ve learned along the way about training, caring for, and competing with our hardworking dogs. If, like me, you feel that a day out with your dog is one of life’s greatest joys, I hope you’ll feel right at home here!
I’ll be covering all sorts of topics that I think will be both helpful and enjoyable, from practical advice to a bit of storytelling about life with working dogs. Here’s what I have in store:
I’ll share down-to-earth advice on everything from basic training to more specific skills for working dogs. If you’re dealing with any training hurdles (aren't we all!), or just looking for new ways to bond with your dog, I think you’ll find some useful nuggets here.
Over the years, I’ve tried a good number of products to help with training and general care. Here, I’ll share honest reviews of the items that I’ve found make a difference—those bits and bobs that truly help in day-to-day life with a working dog. Stay tuned for practical insights!
Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy, happy, and energetic dog. I’ll delve into the dietary needs of working dogs, share recipes when I come across any good ones, and spotlight our own range of working dog food products, which have been specially created to support the demands of these incredible animals. There’s plenty to say on this front, and I’ll try to keep it as useful as possible.
Competing with a working dog is always an experience! I’ll share tales and tips from various events and competitions that we’ve taken part in, including a few lessons learned (often the hard way). Whether you’re getting ready for an event yourself, or just enjoy reading about what goes on, you’ll find it all here.
This blog is very much a work in progress, and I fully expect my early posts may be a little wobbly. Thank you for your patience while I find my footing—I promise it’ll improve as we go along! Above all, I hope this will be a warm, welcoming space where we can chat, share experiences, and support each other on this journey with our lovely dogs.
So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join me as we dive into the world of working dogs. I’m excited to see where this goes and would love for you to come along for the ride.
All the best,
Mike
