Holly is a 9  year old Westie Cross. She’s a rescue with a troubled background. She’s very cute, quite vocal and a work in progress. Since getting Holly I’ve discovered there’s a lot of confusing and utterly useless information on the internet about dog training and dog psychology. Things I’ve found to be useful though are T Touch, the Premack principle and the Relaxation protocol. I don’t have room to list all the things that aren’t useful but “a tired dog is a happy dog” is one example of utter gumpf.

At some point during the working day I will be out for a walk with her. She may (will) interrupt work calls by singing the song of her people.
