Many of the behaviours exhibited by dogs which are considered to be problematic are often misunderstood and unwittingly reinforced by their owners.

Here we take a general look at a number of these behaviours and consider what might influence a dog to perform them and what influences the ensuing perceptions and reactions of owners.

Let’s take a fresh look at dog behaviour and consider that many owners may be under the influence of a number of misconceptions developed through exposure to mainstream media, literature and of course the fact that everyone and their uncle has an opinion on a dog’s behaviour.

Pat’s first passion has always been animals and most specifically dogs. In 1999 I volunteered for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and after a few months when a position for a Rehabilitation Assistant became available I successfully applied which started my professional career with dogs.

In this position I was responsible for the development and management of a team of 18 Behaviourists.

In November of 2011 Pat started up his own business, PAT’S PAWS, which provides dog training and walking services. During his career Pat has gained a certificate in Canine Behaviour and had on going professional training including:

The recent upsurge in pet chicken keeping has, in part, been fuelled by the organised rescuing of ex-battery hens with around a quarter of a million of these having been placed, estimated total backyard hens is now 3 million. The metabolism of birds is significantly higher than mammals, so illness (and recovery) can both happen quickly. New chicken keepers are likely to want the best veterinary treatment for their hens, just as they would for their cat or dog.
