Factors & Fixes

1 File

In this book, I’m looking at the factors that can screw up your searches. The ‘little’ things that can affect your searches and undermine your dog. Not considering them is akin to self sabotage as they can all be avoided. I’ve split the book into four sections, each examining a set of factors under the headings of Wellbeing, Environment, Environment: Distractions and Handler. I’ll explain each factor, discussing why it’s an issue. And supply the fix to help you successfully prevent or fix it.

Dog Log

1 File

If you're anything like me, you are obsessed with your dog, or dogs. You know their favourite activities, favourite foods, you know how much they drink, sleep and play. You know their moods, their successes and their challenges. But trying to keep this all in your head, especially with multiple dogs, can be difficult. Spotting those small changes in behaviour, in eating or drinking, in their general mood is super easy with my new planner, or Dog Log.
