🎃🐾👻 Halloween & Fireworks Season is Here! 🎇🐶
Fun for us, but not always for our dogs. Keep them safe and happy with a few simple steps:

✅ Walk them early before the bangs start
✅ Create a cosy den with toys & blankets
✅ Close curtains, pop on the TV or radio
✅ Keep sweets & chocs out of paw’s reach
✅ Stay calm – they’ll take their cue from you

Let’s make sure tails keep wagging through the spooky nights and fireworks! 🐕💖

The funny thing about creating a magazine is you live in a time shift. Today we posted the November Issue of Dog Sports UK, but of course we are still only in October. So quite why I posted a picture of snowflakes as the new cover picture last week is beyond me. But I did want a post about Halloween.
So first here is a new cover picture, can you work out what Graziano is looking at?
Now onto more serious stuff.

It is time to start thinking about Crufts 2026.
First get some photos of your dog and then write that profile, and if you are in a team, Inter- Regional or Obreedience then a team photo would be good.

Well now that Autumn is officially here it is I suppose time to start tidying the garden and thinking about Christmas. Following my operation, I am not allowed to do any gardening yet, so I thought I would tidy the office, but first the PC. That is when I realised, I had not posted any photos from the Sheffield GSD Show in April.
So here they are:

Sheffield GSD Obedience Show. Sheffield GSD Obedience Show on 13 April 2025.

Well here we are again, the printed version of Dog Sports UK was shipped last week so should have started to arrive on Saturday. The Digital version has literally been sent just now. Following my recent operation the list of things I cannot do is fairly comprehensive, no lifting, driving, gardening, household chores, cycling, running, and so on. The one thing I can do is sit at a computer. I decided to take the opportunity and get ahead with the editions for this year as far as I can before I start chasing everybody for the Crufts Specials. Yes seriously it is not that far away now.

The August Edition is Here!
This month’s magazine is packed with features that dog lovers and sport enthusiasts won’t want to miss!
A huge thank you to Bernice Emanuel for her stunning photography from West Suffolk.
We’re thrilled to launch the first in a regular series by Dr Ian Dunbar, one of the world’s leading voices in dog training. In his debut piece, he argues it’s time for another dog training revolution—essential reading for anyone passionate about positive training methods.
Plus, discover why the term AWE (Animal Welfare Establishment) might soon be on everyone's lips—and how the RSPCA and Welsh Government are stepping up to address a surprising regulatory gap.
Treat lovers, take note: F. Duerr & Sons have released a new squeezy bottle Peamutt Butter! We’re hoping to get our paws on some samples soon.
And the age-old debate continues: raw vs. processed food—what’s best for your dog? We explore the challenges of getting it right when your dog has no idea what not to eat!
Whether you're a trainer, competitor, or devoted dog owner, there's something for everyone in this issue. Let’s celebrate the passion, skill, and dedication that makes our community so special.
