Great advice from Andrea given the action starting to ban XL Bullies.
So many breeds over the years have been of on the dangerous dogs radar - German Shepherds (I have had 3) - I also own a rescue staffy cross. Big dogs, strong dogs, and 60kg of dog on lead is a lot.
ANY dog can attack!
Given the frightening incident in London where Marshall and Millions were shot in cold blood, in public, witnessed on video, the whole scenario scares me as a dog owner, that at any time the police have power to shoot to kill.
Surely if we are teaching children and adults what to do if a crazed gunman walks into your school, then we should educate each other what to do if an animal attacks us. Just some advice from experts may help a child in future?
It is such a sensitive subject but seriously what happened with the recent attacks and why? It’s is utterly horrendous, and there is a lot of research, and information to sort before taking peoples animals from them to be PTS if the animals have done nothing?
I’ve heard recently of a whole litter of pups being PTS as they were bred from Bully breeds. Awful.
None of it makes sense - those attacked, killed, maimed, and how many dogs haven’t attacked?
Where did the dogs come from that did the attacks? Did they escape? Human error? Humans not on the ball?
Thanks Andrea for the advice during such a sensitive time for those dealing with this - the families of those hurt, the vets, and those whose animals are innocent.

The rescue world is batonning down the hatches and bracing itself for the multitude of XL Bullies that are already flooding the ‘free to good home’ pages 😥
You’d think by now the Government would realise that breed specific legislation does not work and actually a different, useful approach is required?
Every decade in the UK we have had a ‘devil dog’ and instead of the issue getting better, it’s got worse.
The common denominator?
People.
Not dogs.
Not specific breeds.
People who are greedy breeders who don’t give a jot about temperament or where their pups end up.
People who are attracted to a dog because of how it looks, improving status and ego.
People who don’t care enough to check their pup’s lineage, don’t care enough to consider if they have the skills and knowledge and lifestyle for the dog they ‘like the look of’.
Ban stupid people Rishi, not dogs.
My heart goes out to every decent, responsible XL Bully owner today.
As a genuine dog lover, I feel your pain, I hear your fear.
Please look out for the proactive advice being offered by wise folks such as DDA Watch and take steps NOW to keep your dog safe and please do NOT sign anything if asked to hand your dog over to the police. Get advice immediately if you are approached by the police from a firm such as Wheldon Law Dog Specialists :-

If your dog isn’t neutered, consider doing it now, exemption normally requires it; start to muzzle train, now; keep your garden & home secure and your dog on a lead - don’t give anyone any need to ‘report you’.
The process has not yet been publicised but going by previous law, these steps are common sense approaches.
Sending you all my very best wishes xx

Bringing a rescue dog home- help them decompress.
In part 1 of our new #TrainingARescueDog- let's talk about bringing a rescue dog home.
The very first thing to do is- NOTHING.
Let your rescue dog decompress. What does that mean?
🛌 Give your dog a variety of resting places to see what they like
💤 Give them time to sleep or rest
❌ Do not disturb them while they sleep or rest
🏡 Keep the house as quiet as possible- or have a dog-only area for your dog to rest
👃🏼 Let them sniff their new surroundings in their own time
🌳Keep it to garden/yard time or short walks
🛑 Don't rush anything
Next week we will talk about what to do to help your new rescue dog adjust to their new surroundings.
How do you help your new rescue dog decompress?

Dogs vs. Cats: The Ultimate Pet Showdown!
SPACE:
- Dogs thrive in open spaces and love their outdoor adventures!
- Cats prefer cozy corners and small spaces where they can curl up and relax.
WALKS:
- Dogs need their daily strolls—aim for three walks a day to keep them happy and healthy!
- Cats might surprise you—some enjoy a little walk too, but it’s not a must!
AFFECTION:
- Dogs will shower you with love and loyalty, as long as you treat them well.
- Cats are more independent—they’ll show their love when they’re ready.
