TILLY TALKS
Bringing a new puppy into your home is incredibly rewarding, but like any new arrival presents a number of challenges. In our Tilly Talks, Julia Robertson - founder of Galen Myotherapy - talks to Cushla Lamen (Galen Myotherapist) and experienced Puppy School tutor about various aspects to consider. And of course, the star of the show is Tilly, who came to us in 2020.
Subjects include creating the right environment, integration with existing dogs, the specific requirements of puppy walking and much much more.
There's a lot of information here which is useful for all dog owners, so it's well worth a watch, even if you don't have a new puppy at this current time.
