In this week’s show we talk about talking to your dog ! Yes, there’s no bones about it. Owners like to have a chat with their dog.

We look at what you say, how you say it, and exactly what constitutes effective communication.

We also have an interview with Deborah Meaden from UK TV show Dragon’s Den about her dogs. Deborah is an experienced Hungarian Vizsla owner and talks with great warmth and understanding about the needs of this active, sensitive breed.
