S1 EP06 with The Doggy Lady

Our lovely guest Fiona runs a dog training school in WA that specialises in teaching any breed of dog scent work - yep even Pugs can learn to do it, just like little Emily who is a champion at it from what Fiona told us.

The best part about this Show is the 'at home' sniffer training you can give your Puggie, no School required - Fiona told us how we can introduce a little bit of scent work into your everyday life with your Puggie and I have to admit, I tried it at playgroup and the Puggies loved it!

NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE:

I've always felt that the Universe gave me Louis just when I was ready to be a Pug-mom for the first time, but finding your pawfect Puggie isn't always that easy or simple. Not to mention should you use a breeder or adopt a rescue.

All options have pros and cons and we'll look at them all so you can decide if your pawfect Puggie is a rescue or a pup from a Breeder.
