My
work as "The UK Dog Whisperer" is a fascinating job that I love. I get enormous
amount of satisfaction in helping dog owners all over the world find solutions
to their pet's health and behavioural problems using natural techniques and methods
that get immediate and long lasting results.
In
the 10 years I have been doing this wonderful job, I have come across every case
imaginable. Some cases I have dealt with have been rather shocking and upsetting
and others have been fairly mild and easy to understand in comparison.
Most
of us pet owners are doing the best job we can with the Information that is fed
to us by our vets, by our pet food and drug companies. Most of us read books,
search the internet, talk with our vets, listen to our friends and family to get
the right advice when it comes to the best we can offer our pets.
However,
most of us are still finding that we have many unanswered questions to why our
pets are behaving as they are or what has caused the shocking ill health our pets
seem to suffering these days and we are left feeling confused about what to do
for the best.
I
am usually called out by my clients when things have reached breaking point and
the relationship between them and their pet has broken down to the point where
if something does not change, then the dog will have to find another home. I often
walk into a family or pack that has underlying feelings of worry, anxiety, anger,
sadness and frustration.
My
clients have lost their confidence and maybe become fearful that they just are
not doing the best for their pets and feel frustrated because they don't know
why. I often hear my clients say "I know it's something I am not doing right but
I haven't got a clue what it is"
I
have spent years studying both human and dog psychology and have learnt how to
be able to read both human and animal body language.
I witness all the time how we often read each others signals wrongly and
end up becoming frustrated and angry because we can't get the response we want
from our animals when we need to.
I
think our dogs and cats have done a marvellous job in trying to understand us
humans and the loyalty, love and compassion they show towards us is truly amazing.
They have learnt our language so well and yet we still misunderstand their language
so much and often misunderstand what it is they are trying to tell us.
It's
really common that us humans humanise our animals and think they are behaving
in human like ways when really they are not. For
example when a dog jumps up on your lap we often think this is because they are
being affectionate when really they are claiming us as theirs and see us as the
lower rank in their pack. It seems ok when a small dog jumps on our lap but what
if a larger breed tries to do the sameâ?¦ our space suddenly feels invaded and
we don't want the dog's so called affection and tell him or her to get off.
My
work is about educating dog owners on what a dog is thinking and why it behaves
in the manner it does. I translate what the dog is really saying in any given
situation and help dog owners to understand what the dogs needs really are. I
teach dog owners how to communicate with dogs in their language so they can find
solutions and overcome both health and behavioural problems they may be having.
My
methods are totally positive and I do not use any force, aggression, bully tactics
gismos, gadgets, of food rewards to get your dog to respond to you. I teach the
dog to respect its pack leader or owner so that it will respond through mutual
respect and understanding. I believe that each and every one of us has everything
we need inside of our selves in order to communicate with our pet friends. It's
just about knowing how to tap into that
knowledge we all have.
The
methods I teach helps dog owners to remove their negative emotions around the
dog and regain a sense of confidence and control through positive interaction
with their dog.
Dogs
are animals and respond to energy, they do not use words to communicate like we
do, yet I see dog owners everywhere giving their dogs verbal commands or instructions.
Dogs do not understand our human language; they actually work with our thoughts
and our energy and once we understand this we are well on our way to having a
happy and fulfilling relationship with our pets.
If
we have negative thoughts then it will produce low energy and your dog will respond
to this in a negative way also. Many of
the clients I see have become fearful in one way or another, it might be that
their dog has bitten someone or another dog, it might be that they have run off
for hours when off the lead, or they worry that the dog will suffer when they
are left in the house on their own. This results in the trust between human and
animal being broken which leads to further negative emotions of anxiety, which
in turn just makes the problem worse and then the frustration and anger sets in.
Fear
comes from not understanding something properly. Therefore I show the owners how
to regain their confidence back, by teaching them all they need to know in how
to really fulfil their dog's needs in today's modern society so a balanced and
healthy relationship may flourish.
If
you want to learn more about how to talk to animals in a language they understand,
contact me today and I will be happy to help.

Being
a dog psychologist, it is my job to go and visit so called misbehaved or badly
behaved dogs in their homes. It is my job to asses what is causing this behaviour
and find a solution to the problems that dog owners are facing today.
Over
the years of visiting clients and dogs in their homes, I started to observe a
familiar pattern forming, I was witnessing a very obvious link with what these
dogs were being fed on to the behaviour they were showing.
A shocking
98% of the dogs that i am called out to see for general hyperactivity or severe
aggression towards other dogs or people were being fed on the number one Brand
for Dog food in the UK,
Bakers Complete made by Purina.
Other
Well known brands are causing the same problems but Bakers has got to be the worst
i have come across yet!
On
seeing this pattern emerging in my consultations, i wanted to investigate further
so began my study into the pet food industry.
These
pet food manufactures are claiming on their brightly coloured packets "complete
dog food! and "Healthy balanced diet!"
On
closer inspection of the ingredients going into these dried, produced foods I
was beginning to find out what really goes into them.
Cereals
is the main ingredient, its first on the list and most of these kibble or biscuit
foods contain high levels of wheat, maize or gluten.
They are only added
as cheap fillers and do not give your dog the correct nutrition they need to successful
get through the day.
Dogs
do not need wheat, maize or gluten in their diets, In fact it can really upset
their systems and cause a whole host of skin complaints and allergies. Gluten
puts a GLUEY like substance in the stomach lining which doesn't allow any nutrients
to be absorbedâ?¦ Not that there is any nutrition of any value in most of these
foods anyway.
Wheat
and cereals also cause bloat in the gut.. With so many over weight dogs out there
if they just came off the cereals we would see a much leaner healthier dog.
lets
take a look at some of the loose terms these pet food manufactures use today to
hide a whole host of nasty stuff being used in the foods.
Meat
and Animal derivatives (4% chicken or maybe lamb) 4% !!!!!!! How on earth is a
dog supposed to survive on 4% meat?
How
is your animal supposed to function properly on 4% meat?
And
lets face it the pet food manufactures use human waste to put into their pet foods,
so we know its not good wholesome chicken, we are talking the leftovers that are
not fit for human consumption like the feet and heads.
Vegetable
derivatives: This is not nice vegetables as we would like to imagine, its vegetable
residue or even charcoal, sawdust or ash..
Who
in their right minds would give their dogs rubbish like that if they actually
knew?
Now
comes the real nasties that these dry and tinned pet food manufactures throw into
our dogs food
E
numbers, Colours and preservatives,
EC
preservatives are made up of a range of 4000 different chemicals!!
Which
ones are in your dogs food? Who knows?
These
are all added by the pet food manufactures for their own benefit not the health
of your dog. They want their product to sell so they can make billions of pounds
profit..They stick a load of colours into the food so it looks appealing to their
buyers which are human..
The
EC preservatives are added in there to keep the product on the shelf for a long
time... enough time to sell it through and make mountains more profit.
These
EC Preservatives are toxic to our dog and are upsetting the natural balance of
your animal, these ingredients do not agree with our dogs health or behaviour.
Man
has messed about with the breeding of dogs and alot of disease in dogs is blamed
on the breeding programmes, which to some extent is very true but what about these
chemicals we are now adding to this problem. Lets face it, alot of health concerns
these days are caused by adding to much toxicity to the body!
Various
Sugars.. This is another loose term you will see in your dogs food and treats.
Why
an earth does a dog need sugar?? it doesn't!
Sugar
is causing not just aggressive and hyper behaviours in our animals but more worryingly
sugar is massively contributing to severe mouth rot. Yes good old tooth decay.
Mouth
rot is the most common problem vets see in their surgerie..
what re they
doing to combat this problem??
Creating more products that they can sell
such as pet toothbrushes and toothpaste, tooth decay tablets.. you name it they
have created a product to help alleviate the problem.
How absurd is that?
Have you ever tried brushing a cats teeth or a dog that is aggressive? In the
wild animals don't need dentists and don't need toothbrushes.. they tear meat
off the bone and that cleans their teeth.
They are not subject to artificial
sugars either.
So
why are most vets not telling us to feed our dogs and cats raw met on the bone.
?? well they wouldn't make any money from that would they!!
In
the meantime though what about our dogs health and suffering?
Max cant tell
us when he has a tooth ache so to get our attention he might mouth or bite us,
only to get told off or told to go away.
The mouth rot then gets worse and
the toxins have nowhere else to go other than to go back into Max's body, causing
a complete imbalance in the bodies immune system and a whole host of disease can
then show up in the body.
Look
at an animal that has some major disease and look in his mouth. The mouth is a
sign of what is going on in the body. You can bet there will be signs of mouth
rot!
Costly
vet bills are on the increase and why?
Because of the diet we are feeding
to our dogs.. simple as that
All this rubbish that is in these dried and
tinned foods is criminal really.
Now
even the vets will tell you that their dried food is the best diet, its been scientifically
formulated for complete diet and nutrition for your pet..
But
my question is why do you need to scientifically produce food for dogs when they
are simply animals and simply carnivores?
Why
do we need to spend £45 upwards on a bag of food that we don't really know what
has gone into it?
We
trust our vets know what they are talking about but what if the information they
have been taught is wrong?
What
if they know this food will eventually cause some disease in your dog and they
know you will head straight to them for treatment for these diseases, thus them
making more money by selling you drugs that the pharmaceutical companies have
sold to them.
These
drugs often cause a whole host of nasty side effects, and weaken the immune system
further thus creating more disease somewhere else in the body
How
many dogs and cats are on Metacam? drug pain relief when all they really need
is a natural diet. Breeding is blamed for alot of today's diseases in dogs but
what if its actually just the diet??
Its
crazy!!!
Isn't
prevention better than the cure.. wont Max be happier if he never got the disease
in the first place or didn't feel so rubbish on the diet he is being fed on that
he has to get aggressive towards you just to try and reach out to you to get you
to understand?
Won't
your bank balance look more healthy with out horrendous vet bills that could have
been avoided if only someone had explained what these so called complete foods
actually contain!
Won't
you be happier to see you dog out live a junk food fed dog?
I
have had two cases in the last week of dog owners ringing me up and saying their
dog has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is having fitsâ?¦ when i asked both owners
what they were feeding their dogs ( i already knew the answer!!) both owners said
to me Bakers Complete!
Is that not proof enough that these added sugars and
chemicals are producing imbalances in our dogs and causing fits..
The vets
had said to both owners that the dogs would need to go on monthly medication for
12 months costing £55 a month!
I said take your dog off Bakers and feed
it a raw diet. Much cheaper and your dogs epilepsy will completely disappear!
So that
is the Answer.. The best diet to feed you carnivore pet is Meat and Bone! Simple
really .. nothing new, its what animals have been doing for years. Its us that
is messing around with them.
Dogs
are carnivores.. Vets will argue this point and say they are omnivores and they
need vegetables in their diet..
Whilst dogs can and do eat a little vegetable
in their diet, they are far more carnivore than omnivore and could live totally
without vegetable in their diets!
On
the other hand, dogs will and are suffering terribly because we have removed their
natural diet away from them and taken most of the meat and bone out of their diets.
Some
of these pet food contain as little as 4% meat (what is all that about! it horrifies
me to think we have cut out the main thing out of our dogs diets and replaced
it with rubbish that the dogs does NOT need or really want!! )
I
had another case of dog being sick 6 times every journey and the vets had tried
medication but had no success. a simple change of diet onto raw meat and the dog
stopped being sick completely!
It
does not take a genius to work out really!
Anyone
who knows me by now, knows i work with the natural instincts and behaviours of
our fellow pack friends the dogs.
Our dogs are still far more in tune with
nature than their fellow human friends..
Back
in the ice age when we first domesticated the wolf, we bought the wolf cubs into
our camps so to help us catch prey and keep our packs safe from intruders and
to keep us warm in the cold nights.
Today
we still like our dogs to keep us warm and to warn of us potential danger to our
homes but we have taken the job of hunting prey off of them.
Country dogs
still might go out and hunt but most city and town dogs do not.
We
go to Tescos and bring home a sack of food for them and put it in their bowlâ?¦
The
dogs use their front teeth when feeding from a bowl.. there is no chewing or jaw
action going on.. It just slides down unnoticed
There is no hunt and there
is no kill.. Nothing left for our dog to do but eat out of a bowl.
Now,
I myself have been a vegetarian for almost 30 years, at age 8, I decided i did
not like the taste of meat and never ate it again.
I
know however that My dog is not a vegetarian or omnivore like most vets would
like me to believe.. no my dog is a carnivore and needs meat.
My job as pack
leader is to provide my pack with the best food i can.
So I provide my dog
Annie with Raw meat and bone..
yes RAW.. I dont cook her meat and bone...
i give it to her raw just like if she was still in the wild she would do.
Annie
LOVES her RMB.. I throw it on the grass for her and she gets stuck in straight
away.
She picks up the raw meaty bones and moves it to the back of her of
jaw and starts chewing.. Her whole jaw, shoulders and body get a workout.. Her
natural bodily chemicals get to work in preparation for digestion, I can see "happy"
endorphins being released through her whole body as she does what nature intended
her to do.. Chew meat and bone together!!
I can hear her pleasure when she
her teeth crack through the bones.. She is getting the best teeth clean she will
ever have, ripping and tearing meat off the bone is what keeps a dogs mouth free
from bacterial rot.
Now
Annie had been in Kennels for almost four years being fed on a really rubbish
diet of dried complete greyhound mix..
Annie had the most dreadful mouth
rot at age four.. her teeth were yellow and tartar stained, her gums inflamed
and sore and she would dribble when she ate as she couldn't chew properly.
He
poo was a bright yellow colour and came out runny. She had bad breath, bad guts
and bad mouth.
She
also came to me with severe aggression problems.. no wonder with all that going
on.. she was crying out for help..
I
put her on the raw meaty bones diet and you have to see the video for your self
to believe it.. She is a completely different dog today.. No more aggression at
all.. her poo is thick and solid and goes white in the sun, her coat is gleaming
and her eyes sparkle, and most of all her mouth rot is completely gone.. no more
bad breath or sore inflamed gums.. her teeth are white and gleaming.. amazing
and all from a bit of simple meat on the bone!
Wild
animals do not need dentists in the wild for this very reason.. They don't have
sugar either!
So Bones.. Bones are needed in a dogs diet for digestion of
the meat and all the nutrient in the bones,
Can someone tell me.. where is
the marrow bone in these so called Complete foods we see in cans and sacks? They
have NO bone content at all!
Do
you remember white dog poo 30 years or so ago? Well that is digested bone, that
what healthy dog poo looks like.
30
years ago we were feeding our dogs more scraps off our plate, more meat and bone
from the butchers..
30 years ago.. vets were not as busy as they are today
and did not charge as much... and 30 years ago who had heard of dog behaviorist..
Dog trainers yes.. Dog psychologists No!
30 years ago i wouldn't have enough
clients to make this a full time business.. Today i do and i totally believe its
starts with the diets we are feeding our dog.
Its
my mission to educate as many dog owners to just read the labels on their dogs
food and do some research of their own to find out what the hell is in this so
called food.
I
have had an amazing amount of clients swap to RMB and see a total change in their
dogs health and behaviour!
Purina
who make Bakers Complete are a sister company of Nestle Rowntree who are one of
the largest sugar manufactures in the world.
Purina contacted me a few weeks
ago to ask if i would endorse their products in my consultations and on my website.
In return they were going to give me a years worth of feed for Annie my dog..
I told
them in no uncertain terms that i would ever endorse their products and that,
I infact warned my clients of the dangers of feeding them their rubbish.
I
explained to them, how I had only just got Annie back to a full state of health
and there was no way i was going to risk her health or teeth by letting her eat
a years worth of their food..
So
after reading my blog today.. i have 2 questions for you?
Are
you going to continue to put sugar, wheat, gluten, EC preservatives and colours
into your dogs body or are you going to go back to what nature intended our animals
to eat? Raw meat on the bone?
Go
and chat to your local butcher and ask him to save the chicken carcasses he would
normally throw away.. Put him back in business,
Change
your shopping habits when in these big supermarket stores..
Forget the pet
food aisle.. I have checked already, there is not one make of pet food there that
is completely natural, all the products contain some sort of colour preservative
or sugar!
go done the meat section instead and fill up on raw meat and bone
instead, Check out the reduced section for some bargains on meats..
Your
dog will love you forever if you provide the right kind of food.. think about
it..
If
your dog could actually ask you for what it wanted to eat what do you think he
would ask for??
And
don't think about cost of meat, its far cheaper in the long run..
You buy
the best you can to watch, you buy the best clothes you can wear, your dine in
the best restaurants you can so why not feed your dog the best you can!
Its
what being a Great Pack leader is all about.

Life
is full of surprises and full of miracles.
This story is of a miracle
dog called Benjie.
Every once in a life time we come across a story
of a person or animals that has shown some sort of miracle.
Out
of all the dogs I have had the pleasure in meeting and working with over the years,
Benjie has a very special place in my heart.
You
see, Benjie is 21 years old.. That is a miracle in its self.. that's almost 147
years old in human terms. The biggest miracle though is that Benjie was diagnosed
with nose cancer 1 year ago and given maybe a few weeks left to live.
1
Year on and he is still going strongâ?¦ still living life to the full and not
giving up just yet.
Benjie's
owner is a lovely lady who has just turned 40.. Benjie as been by her side every
day for the last 20 years and you can see the friendship they share. They can
read each others minds and just love each other unconditionally.
Benjie's
owner was mortified and completely devastated when she was told the news by her
vet that Benjie had nose cancer and may not have long left to live.
Not
knowing where to turn she searched the internet to find some sort of help and
came across Canine Angel contacted me straight away.
I
went to visit immediately, I could sense her anxiety and worry about her best
friend.
When
i first met Benjie, I could sense his fight wasn't over yet.. He is of strong
character and I thought if you have come this far and survived planet earth for
so long.. You won't let a bit of cancer bother you too much now.
Benjie
is one of those independent dogs that likes to do is own thing and not be fussed
about too much..
I
was told that he didn't like to be fussed or touched by strangers but that day
Benjie knew was there to help and came over and put his nose into my hand and
asked me to help.. It was quite an emotional moment and Benjie's owner shed some
tears.
I
gave Benjie healing that day and continue on a weekly basis to send him loving
energy and thoughts. We put him on a bio resonance formula from my good friend
who is a natural and homeopathic vet. We changed his diet to one of totally organic
fresh meat and veg. We put him on herbal products and surrounded him with crystals
healing and love.
I
get regular updates from his owner to tell me how he is doing and he is now on
his fifth batch of remedies.
I went to visit him last week and give him more
healing. I looked at this dog and thought what a miracle you are.
He
asked me to tell his story to the world and tell everyone that love, healing and
natural medicines are what this world needs more of.
His
owner did not want to put him the harsh treatment of chemical drug therapy for
the cancer because at his age, his body wouldn't have liked it.
Whilst
radiotherapy is good treatment for some cancers, others can be treated naturally.
There are alternative ways to support our dog and its health when these life threatening
illness come knocking at the door.
This
blog is dedication to the work I do and it's my pleasure to see it working so
well with the help of one miracle dog called Benjie.
May
Benjie go on to live more of life and let his owner share more happy days with
him.
It
may be one of the saddest days of my working career the day he does have to say
good bye to this world but he sure has taught me well and he has been a very important
part of my life and the work that i do.
Benjie's
love just melts your heart.
So
please leave your dedication, love , healing and support to Benjie and spread
the word that there is a miracle happening right now this very minute.
All
that is left for me to say is
"I
love you Benjie. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and friend. And
whenever your time does come to part this world, we shall be thinking of you and
wishing you well on the next stage of your journey. May you live many more happy
days here though. "
