Pup Talk The Podcast

Sadly pet bereavement is something most of us will have to face at some point, whether through death or changing circumstances. It's not something that is talked about enough.

We talk about how counselling can help and how to support children with the loss of a pet. Wendy also shares how it makes good business sense for employers to be more supportive at this time.

Stephanie Zikmann is The Holistic Dog Groomer and is on a mission to change how we look at grooming. This is not just about how our dogs look, but how their physical and mental well-being is cared for as well.

Plus she shares some tips on what we can do ourselves at home.

She got a new children's picture book out 8th October, encouraging safe interactions between children and dogs - I Can Be A Dog Detective.

She's also the author of The Magic of Holistic Grooming, a great resource if you want to understand more.

I'm talking to Becky Smith founder of PetTrailer UK about the amazing benefits of pet trailing for every kind of dog. The positive power of scent work for reactive and nervous dogs. Or that fact that it's just huge fun!

And if you live close to Northwich, Cheshire, do check out the Charity Trail Day on the 5th September, raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Plus there's a fabulous online raffle if you don't live close enough. Amongst other prizes, you can win a flying lesson or a 121 online training session with me.

Ben Sweeney is the Co-Founder of Vidivet. He describes Vidivet as the lovechild of Dr Google and NHS111 for your dog!

How often have we been unsure whether we should take our dog to the vet or not? Bodie is not great at the vet, so I don't want to take him unless it's necessary.

But how do you know what information online is accurate?

Imagine if you could get a quick response that helped you decide what you needed to do. And to go armed with whatever you needed to help your local vet make a quicker diagnosis.

Whether you have pet health insurance or not, I think this is a fabulous service (from just £4/month).

You can even get a free trial of Vidivet (make sure you enter the discount code PUPTALK).

I'm just back from a dog training holiday and I wanted to share with you some of the things I've learned. It was a real back to school week for me. I go through my 5 key learnings from the week and talking about how useful it can be to go back to basics. I also talk about the Pro Dog Trainer Programme as the doors are open, but only until 2nd August.

I get to ask my boyfriend Ash, what it's like living with a dog trainer! Having consistency around our dogs with everyone that comes into contact with them can be so helpful.

But not always easy. This is Ash's view on dog training what it's like being shown/told what to do.

Zoë Chapman is an inventor and start-up founder from London who juggles single motherhood with running a business and a very nervous young Cavachon, Bali. We talk about the challenges of taking on an obviously very anxious young puppy, that probably didn't have a great start in life. I think Zoë had the toughest job toilet training I ever heard. And we talk about the incredibly positive impact having a dog has made on her son's life and how he copes with anxiety.
