Back in the UK after an awesome event in Barcelona, we’ve had the chance to think about the whirlwind adventure that was the Purina BetterWithPets Forum 2018. Being told that Canine Hope, the signature programme from Canine Perspective CIC working with survivors of rape and rescue dogs, had made…
You haven’t heard from me in a little while and it’s safe to say that it has been an emotional rollercoaster for the team here at Canine Perspective HQ. Today, we have some incredible news to share, but it’s tinged with profound sadness. As you no doubt know, Canine…
This is most definitely the most common training mistake that people make. I make it too! It’s something we all do and it’s really easy to become aware of it. As soon as you find yourself wishing your dog would stop displaying a certain behaviour, that’s when you are…
This is a light-hearted example, but one that has shown me first-hand, the power of unconscious conditioning. Our young rescue furball, Bear, is able to run his nose (and tongue) over the worktops in the kitchen with ease thanks to his height. Now, when he joined our family he…

As you may already know, our social enterprise started with a book, so it won’t come as a surprise that books form a huge part of our continual development. There are so many books I could put on this list, but these are four I have re-read recently and…
Picture the scene. You’ve been out for a walk with your oversized furball in the torrential rain, you get home, dry them off to the best of your ability and then you’re forced to watch as they run into the kitchen and shake. It doesn’t matter how well you think…
Many of us have been in a somewhat awkward situation where our dog has mounted another dog, a person or a random inanimate object and we’re not really sure what to do. A few years ago, I was out walking with my RottyX and started chatting to an older lady…
