Debbie is joined by Tash to talk about something dog owners rarely admit out loud, that even the dogs they adore can, on some days, really wind them up. Together they unpack why that irritation is almost always trigger stacking on our side rather than anything the dog has actually done, and why feeling it does not make you a bad owner.

Debbie is joined by Tash for her monthly cameo to talk about trainers bringing their own dogs to class. Together they explore when a demo dog genuinely helps, such as visual learners and technical disciplines like gundog work and agility, and when it hinders, from divided attention to leaving owners feeling their dog will never measure up.

Debbie talks about welcoming a new kitten into a household with three adult dogs, sharing the honest, practical reality of introducing a cat the "wrong way round" from how it's usually done. She walks through the preparation work, from stair gates and cat flaps to playing meowing sounds in advance, and shares the early days of supervised introductions with each of her dogs. Debbie reflects on what she's learned about reading dog behaviour during integration, the surprising ease of kitten ownership compared to puppies, and why she's now, somewhat unexpectedly, a confirmed cat person.
