The DSPCA is urging pet owners to engage in their training services to encourage responsible pet ownership as they have revealed 70% of all the dogs surrendered to DSPCA have behaviour issues that could have been solved if the owners took actions earlier.

With January as National Train Your Dog Month, the DSPCA Dog Training Academy have resumed in person training classes both group and one on one sessions so pet owners can learn how to work with their pets for responsible ownership.

Having a well behaved dog is not only part of being a responsible pet owner but also can be fun for all the family. Issues such as toilet training, play biting, addition of new a baby, food aggression etc. are commonly seen by the Dog Training Team. The new push from the DSPCA is targeting older pets as well as new pets received over Christmas as they are experiencing issues from all types.

“It seemed to me that RTÉ’s fundamental failure was to allow this appetite for ‘edgy’, ground-breaking journalism to devour good journalistic practice and particularly editorial practice. It was failure above all of editorial control.”

Bryan Dobson on the Fr Kevin Reynolds affair.

‘Edgy’ journalism led to RTÉ error – Dobson (Independent.ie)

So noted newsreader Bryan Dobson had a lot to say yesterday about editorial standards at RTÉ. Well, he’d certainly be a leading expert on that topic… Maybe stick to reading other people’s scripts to introduce other people’s journalism. Still though – looks good in a suit…

FIGHT!

I myself have been part of the core stunt team alongside Coordinator Franklin Henson,  Asst Coordinator Richard Ryan and Paul Burke since its inception. We’ve really been kicking a** and taking names. I’ve attached 2 videos for you to have a look at which we coordinated, rigged, performed, shot and edited. Hope you like ’em…
