A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

This week we’re joined by Dog Behaviourist, Ross McCarthy from the Cambridge Institute of Dog Training and Behaviour (CIDBT). Ross has over 25 years experience of working with dogs nationwide and is London based. We chat about the old days when we met as being Ambassadors for the  raw food company, Natural Instinct.  We discuss why 70% of Britain’s dogs are currently suffering from anxiety, why the rescues are now literally bursting, and why dogs are facing euthanasia through no fault of their own, just from a lack of appropriate training and understanding. We focus on the positives of how ‘things can only get better’ looking at how the CIDBT offers accessible training and behaviour courses for dog owners  to learn how to help others in a professional capacity to get the best out of their dogs.  We talk about Ross’s passion for Rottweilers, and how they’ve taught him so much on his own dog journey,  and why experience enhances learning. Ross’s aim is to make the world of dogs a happier, safer and better place - one thought is to introduce a test for new dog owners, in away like a driving test before you get behind the wheel.

What is A Dog's Life with Anna Webb?

Dogs.

They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves.

Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary.

She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal.

It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive.
