Many people want to know why their dog is dragging its bottom along the ground - so-called sledging or scooting. This podcast discusses this topic, explaining the possible reasons. We also discuss the issue of dogs being frightened of fireworks.

Why is my dog dragging her bottom along the ground?

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
