So many photos I want to show you! Here are a few from our last days in Wales: We went back to Worm's Head on Tuesday, after a stunning 4 mile hike around the Three Cliffs area. We hiked down this hill to the beach and watched a beautiful sunset. We watched the sheep on the hillsides and enjoyed all the gorgeous views. You can't see the sheep in the first photo, but they were like Mountain goats... grazing on slopes that seemed impossibly steep. (Lots of limping I noticed; I am guessing that foot rot must be a big problem here given how damp it is.) As the light faded, a crow landed on this drift wood and I yanked my camera out of my pocket and got the shot an instant before she flew off. I'd put the camera away because we had a steep Read More

Time to vote!
Meanwhile, back at the office: It was an incredibly hard job to narrow all of the wonderful Wegman-esque photos down to just eight, but we did it. You can see a few below, but check out Trisha's Facebook page to see all eight and participate in the fun. Voting is open through Thursday, November 14. Just "like" the photo(s) of your choice! (WARNING: It will be very hard to pick just one!) You do have to have a Facebook account to vote, but it's definitely worth your while to look even if you don't have Facebook. Thank you to everyone who participated! Read More
Travelogue II – England and Wales
Ah, our first quiet day after arriving across the pond. We roared around the country last week, and had a somewhat hectic but wonderful time in Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Chipping Camden (a quick night off, just lovely!) and Bristol. Thanks to everyone who came out for the talks, it was delightful meeting you, especially the blog readers who came up to say hello. Special thanks to Pauline Appleby and the Association of Pet Behavior Counsellors who sponsored my talks and to Sandra McCune, the head of the Human Animal Interaction program at Waltham who gave us a day's tour of the facility. More on that later, suffice it to say it was a fascinating and greatly appreciated. Right now we're cozy in a Bed and Breakfast on the Gower Penninsula in Wales. Fittingly, there's a light drizzle Read More
A New Photo Contest!
Hello everyone, this is Katie. Let's have some fun while Trisha is out of the office! Pull out your training treats - it's time for a photo contest! We want to see your best William Wegman inspired photo of your dog(s). We're looking for creativity, but most of all, calm and comfortable dogs. Email your photo (ONE per person, please) to photos@patriciamcconnell.com no later than Monday, November 11. The next day we'll post our favorite five on Facebook for everyone to vote on. The photo that gets the most "likes" will be announced as the winner on Friday! Of course we couldn't do this without a prize. How does a pack of autographed training books and a Rapid Rewards Training Pouch sound? Need inspiration? Check out the latest BARk Magazine or William Wegman's gallery. We can't wait Read More
Travelogue 1: London & First Talk in Milton Keynes
Is there a more wonderful city in the world than London? You know I’m not a city girl, at least I'd never want to live in one, but I love visiting vibrant cities, and surely London is one of the best. The only city I can think of that could compete with London is Sydney, Australia. Sydney has the best views, but London has the best architecture by far. What fun; I wish I could come back somehow without leaving the dogs. (Let me know if you figure that one out--but no, I'd never ship them. I'd be a wreck worrying about them.) We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Chelsea that defines “English charm” in the best of all possible ways, visited with my English cousins, and spent the day Monday traipsing around the city. Actually, that’s not quite accurate. We spent most of the day at the Read More
