- Unfortunately as dog trainers it can be a case of "do as I say, not as I do"
- In terms of the advice we give out, we trainers can be just as guilty of making silly mistakes ourselves!
- This week Panos lost sight of Nuki during a late-night off-leash walk, with no collar or tags, followed by a pretty scary 18-hours spent searching high and low for her
- A kind stranger found and returned her safely!
- In this episode we go over a list of tips of what to do if your dog ever goes missing
- We also reflect on hard lessons learned from this situation!
- This rookie error was an experience that prompted deep thought and needs to be shared so that you don't make the same mistakes.
- Keep your dog's collar and ID tag on at all times!
- Have an attitude of gratitude & go hug your dog.
