Training puppies to walk on the lead

Snippet from my personal blog: Whippet Wonders

Our challenge is to make walking on the lead more fun than playing in the garden.

Check out this video to see how challenging this could be:

Update on Inner Dog TV Launch

Sorry we've been quiet on the blogging front since November. Over the last couple of months we have been planning, planning, planning - editing, editing, editing, and building, building, building.

We want to make sure the website and the magazine are JUST right before we launch - and as we've moved further into the set up of the magazine and website, so have our ideas, enthusiasm and excitement evolved.

We have now stuck the fork into the ground, pinned the tail on the donkey, and are just waiting for our web designer to complete the picture.

We have a launch date for the website itself for the beginning of February, and the very first edition of the magazine to be available in March.

In the mean time, I have recently become the proud owner of two adorable whippet puppies called Ziggy and Honey. Although I've grown up with dogs in the family, and have always been a massive fan of our canine friends, this is the first time I have been personally responsible for dogs of my own... Over the last 6 months, while working alongside Caroline and all of the experts who are contributing to Inner Dog TV, I've learned sooooo much about caring for dogs, but when I got the pups home it dawned on me that I still have a lot more to learn... ha ha ha.... like the potential problems of getting two puppies from the same litter, and how to overcome them!!!

This is Honey....


















And here's Ziggy....



I can't wait to review doggie products, test dog training techniques, and learn about dog behaviour alongside the viewers of Inner Dog TV...   I'm now off to set up a separate blog, to share our experiences of raising two whippet puppies...
