I’m Nell, and I’m a kleptomaniac
Nell has long had certain kleptomaniac tendencies and I’ve recently become more curious about it. A most precious stone By kleptomaniac I literally mean randomly picking up items that were of no value whatsoever and resource guarding them like Gollum. We’ve worked a lot on her resource guarding and mostly it’s predictable and managed (especiallyContinueContinue reading “I’m Nell, and I’m a kleptomaniac”
Struggling to keep your dog busy? Look no further!
I’ve been asked for toy recommendations a lot, and due to lack of time, I haven’t really kept up with writeups or reviews – and some have been bought before this blog started so by this point the toys are not new. But to save writing the recommendations again and again, I’ve collected some allContinueContinue reading “Struggling to keep your dog busy? Look no further!”

Toy review: Beeztees Wigglex
It’s spring! And time for garden brain games to come out of storage – among them this brilliant toy, Beeztees Wigglex. It’s big-ish, so suits a medium/large dog, weighted at the bottom so it’s quite difficult to topple over enough for treats to fall out (despite the big holes at the top). It’s also greatContinueContinue reading “Toy review: Beeztees Wigglex”
