Sydney leaves us...   Unfortunately Syd has been withdrawn from the programme as she is a very sensitive soul who finds working in busy environments such as towns and supermarkets just a bit too much. The Medical Alert Dogs are so extra special and have to be...

Making new friends This week we had fellow Medical Detection puppy in training, Sydney come to stay. Sydney is an eight and a half month old Cockerpoo and very sweet – and fast!! Bounce and Syd had great fun chasing each other around the garden, first one in front...

Bounce has finished all his vaccinations and is now allowed out for proper walks – hooray!! Our first walk had to be at Ashridge as that’s always been a firm favourite with us and the dogs. Dillon showed him what to do, and he was soon off exploring his new, bigger...

I’ve been to another trial lesson with Dawne today.   This time we met at Coombe Hill and it was more of an informal dog walk.   I took my own dog, Dillon with me and there was another new socialiser there with her dog Oscar, so it was a great opportunity...
