Hello and a big welcome to Talking Dogs with me Graham Hall. Have you seen me on telly's

dogs behaving very badly? You might have done. I'm the guy who gets sent in when a dog's

wreaking havoc in a household.

I'd like to think there's not much I haven't seen after my 10 years plus as a dog trainer,

but yeah, I still am surprised by what dogs get up to sometimes. I'm known as the dog father,

and every week I like to help even more owners with their dogs here on this podcast too.

Whether you've got a barker, a biter or a Houdini level escape artist on your hands, I'll do my best to show you how to handle your dog.

Now as I'm recording this, stuck inside, the weather outside is glorious. We're able to,

that's the sacrifice I make, you know, we're able to that's the sacrifice i make you know we're able to get outside

now aren't we and meet people for some much needed laughter with our loved ones now no doubt

you'll be heading out to a local park for a picnic at some point all great fun until a dog comes

and nicks your scotch eggs let me me tell you, that's pretty painful.

Or maybe you're worried it's your pup who will be gate crashing somebody else's party in search

of food. Now that's something that Eleanor's having a bit of trouble with.

Hi, Graham. I really enjoyed your recent episode on resource gardening. My dog definitely does

that. She's an 11-month-old

Dalmatian. We're practicing the advice that you gave to ignore the behavior. But what I

wanted to ask is how does that apply to the spring and summer months if you live in a city

and you take your dog on walks in the park where there are lots of

barbecues and picnics and broad opportunities for your dog to steal food.

She will grab the food and run around and away with it, with me chasing her. It's just something I'm a bit worried

about and I'd love to hear what you have to say about that. Well, thanks for getting in search,
