July brings the usual mix of practical advice and general interest. We’re continuing with a number of series of videos which are proving popular.  Trevor Pearman brings us the last of his grooming videos and we learn about scissoring. Brenda Aloff brings us helpful advice on training reactive dogs. Rob Fellows demonstrates how Reiki can be used to help with arthritis. If we are looking for fun activities with dogs, Roxanne McDonald, our Ringcraft expert, teaches us about standing and stacking and we learn about “Call Front” in Talking Dogs Rally. To help us to prepare for sadder times, Belinda Johnston describes the wide range of symptoms of grief we might expect when we lose our beloved pet.

We also begin two new topics. Nikki Harvey gives us an overview of the work of Fire Investigation Dogs. We also learn about the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, the body that oversees veterinary medicine. Over next few weeks, we will learn more about the word of the VMD and how they can help us to make informed decisions about our pet’s health.
