On the 27th February 2010 we attended The Ontrack Dog Training Centre to take images for Cath Phillips BSc Animal Behaviour and Training. Cath trains dogs for the Police as well as holding training sessions for puppies , working trials, and agility alongside behavioural clinics for dogs with ‘issues’
Cath is currently in the process of writing a book and this was a good way of seeing how images would look from one of her training sessions as well as providing a service for her clients.
There were a number of activities for the dogs and handlers to try, socialisation, agility and control. Caths ‘Goodbuddy‘ sessions allow a safe and controlled enviroment for dogs with issues to be brought into contact with other animals and people that under normal conditions their owners would not wish to attempt.
Its a great place to take young and inexperienced dogs to expand their socialisation skills making them a more rounded and controlable pet which with the recent news about ‘dangerous dogs‘ should be seen as a good thing.
We look forward to working with Cath more closely to illustrate her forth coming book.
