Hi folks, I've made you another Dog Listener Video - and you're going to love the bonus video clip below. I reckon a few of you will be saying "Good Moaning" tomorrow.

So what's the news?

The first eBook is getting the final touches and (as you would expect from me) a no-nonsense, fluff-free Dog Listener Guide to Toilet Training (I hesitate to use the phrase no-mess…)

And yours truly is back in Oz for one more week after an amazing time in New Zealand – thanks for all the comments about the films I have posted, even if most of the time they are questioning my sanity for doing the Canyon Jump…

On Sunday I went to an Aussie Rules football match (the story of how I became a fan of this sport is long but it involves a stone bird table and stitches) and felt inspired to talk about the problems we face with fellow English speakers.

You see, I was told off for using Kiwi slang in Australia – a simple mistake to make and after all why argue over whether to call them thongs or jandals when flip-flops is a perfectly sensible name (I was so clumsy as a child my Mum bought me a pair of flip-flips) – which lead me to think about language.

The key to Dog Listening is to understand the dog’s language. Otherwise there is a severe risk of communication breakdown and everyone can get stressed, both human and canine. When we know what dogs are trying to tell us, and more importantly give them the right message, the ride becomes a lot smoother.

By the way, I know I used the same joke at the end of this clip, but what can I say – I liked it… Hope you share my sense of humour!

Cheers for now, Tony

P.S. This bonus comedy clip is not only for all my internet friends but also especially for Paddy Leishman in Auckland – break a leg on-stage mon ami!
