Helpthedogs.org -
To our shame the United Kingdom is Europe's biggest user
of dogs for vivisection. In 2000 over 7,632 dog experiments
were performed in the UK, using 4,7455 individual dogs. Hundreds
more were killed for their blood and organs, or simply because
they were 'surplus to requirements.' Over the years, the
BUAV has campaigned consistently to end the use of dogs in
research. By visiting our website you can see for yourself
just why dog experiments are so cruel and scientifically
unjustified. Please join our campaign, and help the BUAV
to end their suffering once and for all. |

the clubs below in general have good to fantastic trainers
associated with them, we have heard a few horror stories

to ask the trainer exhaustive questions about their methods
before joining and to COMPLAIN to
the association or club that they are members off, should
they use other methods than they initially indicated. |

Barry
Eaton . Whether you have knowingly given a
home to a deaf dog or puppy, or discovered later that
your much loved pet is deaf, you will probably need help
training it. Barry Eaton is an experienced dog trainer,
a member of the APDT, and owner of an 11 year old deaf
Border Collie, Lady. When Lady joined Barry's family
as a nine week old puppy, there was very little in the
way of positive help in training her. Most of the training
advice available was based on harsh methods and many
people in the dog world advised him to have her put to
sleep. None of this was acceptable to Barry, so he set
about training her himself. |
