Hello, I'm Graham Hall and this is Talking Dogs. I'm the dog father, and that's because I've got almost 15 years experience as a dog trainer.

So if you've got a disobedient dog and don't

know what to try next, well, I might just be able to help you. I work with owners one-to-one

through my books and on TV's dogs behaving very badly, and I can give as much advice and support as I can

on this podcast too. It's not just me you'll hear from though. I also invite people I've helped in the past on for catch-ups, so you might learn from any of their mistakes.

Well, you never know, the odd one or two of mine as well. But hopefully then you'll be able to see that there really is hope for your dog too.

Part of the joy of having a dog is how much they make us laugh. Their quirky behaviour

can do a great job of lifting our spirits. But what happens when a very specific behaviour that

was funny at first becomes a strange or worrying obsession? Now in a bit, I'll hear from an owner

whose cocker spaniel becomes fixated on light and shadows.

First though, a dog who loves licking lovely bald heads.

Carol, Kenny, I recently came and met you for the telly show dogs behaving very badly. Now it's lovely to catch up.

What was it about your Sprocker Brody's behaviour that made you want to get in touch?

Basically, he had an obsession of licking my head,

which didn't seem to be too much of an issue until our little baby girl come along,

and he sort of took her an obsession into licking Rini's head then.

And obviously, with hygiene hygiene, things around it,

we thought with this Seekio Help Graeme, which we did.

And yeah, it was very, very successful, wasn't it?

Yeah, and Rini is very much like her dad in that she doesn't have much hair.

So she, yeah, she has a bald head like her dad.

So yeah, that's where the obsession with the dog came, I think.
