Rosie Lowry, of Laid Back Dogs, is a wonderful person to interview, and I finally got the chance to do so. Her books, ‘Understanding the Silent Communication of Dogs,’ and’ ‘Tale of a Big Dog’ are full of lessons in a life with dogs. If you learn by reading real life stories, based on experience, these books are a must read. 

We had technical difficulties with Rosie's WIFI, so you get the video version this month!

It's been a couple of years since Tanya and I have spoken on this podcast. I chat with her on a message app quite often, but there is nothing like having the time to sit down and find out what is happening in her life. 

Tanya and I met in 2020, so our friendship is deep. It's an honour to have her as one of our four co-directors for the SLOW DOG MOVEMENT C.I.C. I hope that you enjoy and gain something from this informal podcast, whether it be new knowledge of Russian culture, or learning about dogs in a different way.

I was delighted when an email from Harriet Alexander, of ALL DOGS ARE GOOD, popped into my email inbox. I thought, ‘she’s back’ and I immediately wrote to her and asked her to come on the podcast. I have known Harriet for many years. We met through Pet Dog Trainers of Europe and through Winkie Spiers. Harriet is a practising dog behaviour consultant and is also an ‘ideas person’, highly creative and totally down to earth at the same time. I really hope that you enjoy this informal, sometimes candid catch up with one of my favourite dog professional colleagues and friends. I do apologise for any talking over each other, there was a lagin the Wi-Fi for us both.

This month my husband, Brett (Korteling), and I talk about moving and travelling with dogs, with a focus on trans-Atlantic travel. Brett has travelled twice from the UK to NorthAmerica and back with dogs, within the past two years and has many good tips and interesting stories to tell. If it wasn’t for the support of Brett, I wouldn’t be able to devote so much voluntary time towards the SLOW DOG MOVEMENT. 

Brett mentioned Le Pet Express during the podcast.

To start the New Year, I thought it would be interesting to have a conversation with our new co-director, Kirsty Falk. Kirsty has been involved with the SLOW DOG MOVEMENT since 2021 and is an active admin in our FB group. She is a full-time, professional dog-walker and volunteers for AA Dog Rescue, based in Spain. Kirsty mentioned that there is a march, across the UK, this Saturday, the 1st February, 2025, to raise awareness for Podencos. I hope that you enjoy our very candid conversation!

In November and December, we will be speaking with Caroline Lewis about the fascinating topic of ‘deaf dogs.’ Caroline is a dog behaviour consultant and runs ‘Help at Hand Dog Training& Behaviour’  in the U.K. who specialises in deaf & blind dogs, rescue dogs, adolescent dogs, and now plight of the XL Bully. I have known Caroline as a fellow colleague, for years, but never really ‘got to know her.’ This podcast series has been an absolute gift, to learn about deaf dogs, and to slowly become friends with Caroline. We hope that you enjoy both podcast episodes. We will definitely be asking Caroline back next year. 

Here is the extra information on ‘how dogs sense movement’ that Caroline mentioned during the talk: 

‘Dogs can 'sense' movement up to 900 metres away (so just over half a mile), this can be slightly more heightened in deaf dogs because their other senses are more heightened. They can also sense electromagnetic fields which can guide them back home - one dog (will find the article) navigated itself back home over 200 miles and they think most of this was with electromagnetic fields from the earth. Also, dogscan smell up to/over 12 miles away. So, from this we can see that when a dog can't hear, or in fact see well, that is not actually a problem because their ability to 'sense' their environment is profound!’

And the research paper to go with it: https://www.livescience.com/dogs-sense-earth-magnetic-field.html

I also promised to include the article from Dr Conor Brady onsafely feeding raw bones:

https://dogsfirst.ie/how-to-feed-a-dog-bones/  AND the courses that Dr Nick Thompson offers on feeding raw bones to dogs and raw feeding: https://holisticvet.co.uk/index.php/videos/

I also mentioned a wonderful vet in Bristol, who does dental work, but couldn’t remember his name in the chat – and he is: Dr Martin Brice of https://www.emersonvet.co.uk/
