Understanding dogs, what they are, and why they do the things they do, gives an insight into what makes them tick. Understanding how they are affected by the things we do enables us to train, and live with, our pets more effectively. These are the "Dog Secrets" that your dog wishes you knew. There is no mystical "secret" to training dogs, as professed by some dog trainers. Dog training and owning can be perfected through simple yet effective methods that are well known to science.

This is the true story of a young dog that was raised in a feral pack of over twelve dogs, living in dreadful conditions with little human contact.

When they were discovered they could not be approached. However, two of the smaller dogs were able to be caught with a catch pole. The remainder of the dogs were euthanised.

The two captured dogs were taken to a larger rescue centre where they remained for a month, but no one could do anything with them. A death sentence then hung over them. Christine was called upon to assess them. After spending time with them she knew that they would not be able to be re-homed in the normal way, but there was something about them that touched her deeply and she decided to take them into her home, in the hope that she could rehabilitate them.

So began a journey following the dog's rescue. Join Christine and share the joys, the heartaches and the highs and lows on this emotional roller coaster of events.
