Latest Sociable Dog pod is out. Time for a break. This week Sociable Dog talks fear, anxiety and whether the oft repeated advice to never comfort a fearful dog is fact or myth. Now, where’s that waitress?

The Sociable Dog Pod just reached 7500 downloads. All we say is thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has listened to our contemplations on dog behaviour. As long as you’re listening we’ll keep talking. Let us know if there’s a particular issue you want us to discuss

When, once again, you can’t get the attention of the waitress, desperate measures are needed.

As a response to some questions we've had about dogs who don't like going to the groomers, we've done a blog that we hope will help. I know! We haven't done a blog for a while. 😀 sociabledog.com/post/she-says-…

For those who could use it right now, here’s a calming pic of the Scottish coast

I understand why people are thinking of leaving this platform. We’re staying, ‘cos we’ve built up a sizeable following. That matters so we can continue spreading good info on dog behaviour. Please follow us on your platform: BS:@ sociabledog… Threads/ig:@ sociabledogtraining…

In our penultimate podcast of series 1 we’re talking about training and learning by consequences. There’s some “how to”, some gear suggestions and some tips on how to get the best out of your training. 👍 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/lea…

You’ll never guess what we Movers & Shakers got up to on our holidays.. 🏖️ It was both a hard slog and great fun, with one serious aim: to promote the Parky Charter and 3 Parkinson’s charities! 🌟 Our new project will be unleashed on an unsuspecting world on September 7th…

The Sociable Dog Pod producer #ripleydog takes a well earned break. 😉

When is a beach holiday not a beach holiday? When it’s a woodland holiday 😁 Sometimes you just have to go with the flow 😉 Well done Team #sophiefromromania

Happy International Dogs Day- celebrate with your favourite chum!

And give a little something to a dog rescue if you can afford.

It’s International Dog Day (Isn’t every day? 😉) Big shout to all the dogs in the world & their people too. If there’s anything you can do to help your local shelter/rescue be it donation, blankets, food. Maybe today is the day to apply for that adoption you keep thinking about

I realise that this important day is, in fact, International Dog Day (not Dogs Day). Got carried away with my enthusiasm and went all plural. Can’t help feeling that this International Dog sounds like a suave, jet-setting, canine diplomat….

#sophiefromromania and I thought a sock shot was in order for International Dog Day so here it is.

Isn’t nature amazing? Can’t get tomatoes to grow at the house but this one, perhaps discarded from a picnic, has decided that a beach exposed to the weather of the north sea is the perfect place to raise a family. In flower and thriving.
