We understand how difficult and worrying it can be because we have the same challenges ourselves when we go on holiday. I’m Connie Rafferty and I have been running Trails for Tails with my partner KC Richards since 2011. Through my work with dogs, ongoing studies and research I have gained an understanding of how dogs communicate and learn including tools and techniques for modifying behaviour, the importance of knowing about different breeds including their needs/instinctual drives and how owners through our behaviour, mood and energy levels hugely influence and shape our dog's behaviour. We encourage owners to communicate clearly with their dogs and be consistent with their rules and expectations to avoid confusion and inadvertently reinforcing unwanted behaviours.
Did you know that the Pet Care Sector is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide. Bet you’ve been on Google or Bing so you will have noticed that there are shed loads of Dog Walkers, Doggie Daycare and Home Boarding providers out there. But the real challenge for dog owners is finding the person we can really trust to look after our dog when we are at work or going on holiday. How can you separate the unscrupulous, dishonest and irresponsible providers from those you can trust.
