Emma Newth-West of Priestlands Dogs

This week we're joined by trainer and founder of Priestlands Dogs, Emma Newth-West, discussing the rise of dog ownership (over 15 million dogs in the UK now!) and the impact that has on behaviour. We discuss the importance of setting boundries, choosing the right breed, what a good 'starter' dog is, the patience needed for puppy training, and the crucial principle of 'Adopt Don't Shop'.

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.
