The Dog Listener...

Shona Moon was back over last week and got a rave review from one of our regualr guests, Carla Berryman: "We asked Shona to come and see us during our most recent holiday at Westhayes, to help us with the integration of our new puppy, Buzz and our existing six year old dog Murphy. Shona started by assessing the temperament of each dog and then offered technique and tips to help keep a calm household!  Shona's advice was invaluable. She offered ways of helping each dog to relax but tailored to take into account some leg pain Murphy was having then. After showing me how to go about some of the techniques on Murphy, it was pretty obvious Murphy was happy with Shona when he curled up at her feet within ten minutes! I've continued the techniques Shona taught me and can highly recommend her."

Give Shona a call on 01208 812 677 if you'd like to use her skills while you are here at Helsbury.

ITV2 LOOKING FOR DOGS


ITV are putting out a dog whistle to the 8 million UK dog owners and their pooches – from Labradoodles to Lurchers, perfectly preened to superbly scruffy, everything in between and beyond. We want to include dogs of all types – mongrels, rare breeds, cross-breeds, whatever! All shapes and sizes are welcome but it’s not lovely looks alone that will crown our furry favourite because personality and star quality will need to shine through too!

Prized pets will go head-to-head through a series of special modelling challenges and feature weekly eliminations by our panel of judges who will analyse the hounds’ hottest headshots and eliminate the weakest performer, ultimately leading to one lucky dog being crowned the country's Top Dog Model and possibly becoming the new face of a major brand.

We will be holding our first auditions in EARLY JUNE, so any help you can provide us in spreading the word about our search for potential pooches and their owners would be very much appreciated.

I’d be most grateful if you could circulate this flyer (attached) to colleagues and other establishments in the dog friendly world, clients, friends and family etc… we really want to get the word about the amazing opportunity to as many dog owners as possible… should you have any other outlets – eg. newsletters, publications, mailing lists please feel free to circulate. It would also be great if you would be happy to print a copy of this out and display it in your place of business.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more information or if indeed you would like an application form yourself, please email topdogmodel@12yard.com.
