A little bit of background


Six months ago I returned to the UK after studying underwater videography in Thailand. I was looking for a new project which would bring together video, internet, and complementary therapies. By chance I met Caroline, an animal complementary therapist and Tellington Ttouch practitioner. Caroline was looking for someone to help her with a project involving complementary therapies, video, internet - and dogs! I've grown up with dogs, and was intending to get my own once I'd found a place to settle - and so I joined Caroline on her mission and together we created www.innerdog.tv

Over the last decade I've been on a long journey discovering the benefits of complementary therapies, good nutrition, and the use of natural products in my own life as a human - it had never crossed my mind that the same principles may apply to our pets.

Over the last 7 months Caroline and I have filmed and interviewed numerous experts in dog training, dog behaviour, dog health and dog nutrition, and I've discovered HEAPS... However, it wasn't until my other half (Paul) and I brought our new whippet puppies home, Ziggy and Honey, that the reality of dog ownership and all the questions it raises, REALLY dawned on me... and I realised - I still have so much to learn... Neither had I quite realised, just how many different opinions there are in the area of dog care and dog training.. It is a minefield!!!

I'm so grateful that I met Caroline and started Inner Dog TV, and feel privileged to be in a position to spend my working hours researching something so close to my heart - what is the best way to train and care for our beloved pups Ziggy & Honey.

This blog is journal of our experiences, questions, concerns - and of course celebrations of life as the proud owners of whippet puppies. I hope you enjoy it, and that our experiences go some way to helping dogs and their owners - wherever they are!!!
