Re: Saturday Puppy Classes / nice vet

My three year old pup is a joy thanks to her training (of me as well as him!!! ;) ) I also recommend Voo Vets that you mention as on the corner of Queenstown Road, they are very good and are one of five prac...

Re: Rats on Clapham Common!

Hi Lucy,
I have a room with bunk beds that is pretty and peaceful. I'm moving house on 15th September though but it's available until the 9th if you are interested in taking a look. What is your budget? We are on the Shaftesbury Estate near Battersea Arts Centre.
Thanks
Jo

Re: Dog Behaviorist recommendation please

Highly recommend Winkie Spiers for both training mature dogs and puppies. She is amazing and despite working internationally lives locally. She will come and do a 2hr session and is astonishing in what she does in that time.

My daughter has gone through bouts of self harming, scratching herself with her nails, badge pins, pulling her hair out etc and now at 14 seems to have stopped....altho...
