| | | | | Police Dog Branch join us on School Visits | | |  PC Lawrie and her German Shepherd, Eice and Cocker Spaniel, Abbey came along with us to visit Primary 1 and Nursery children at a couple of local schools.
The children loved the police van - hearing the sirens and seeing the flashing blue lights in the playground. Abbey performed a few demonstations in the classrooms while we spoke about her training and the life of working dogs.
There were plenty of cuddles for Abbey, and our dog too, which were very welcomed!

 | | A Really Great Time on Real Radio | | |  Real Radio Weekend Breakfast Show presenters Joe and Lynne gave Gill and Willo a warm welcome when they were invited on their show to discuss life at Wizard of Paws.
We had great fun talking about our mutts Willo, Baxter, Coisty and Logan (who belongs to Fiona the newsreader) and their wierd and wonderful habits.....what dogs like, how to train them (and their owners!) and what to consider when getting a new pup.
Hope you heard us! |

| | Wizard of Paws Product Range | | | We have launched our own brand of products for your pooch!
Based on our professional experience and customer inputs (the canine sort of course!) we have designed a range of spa products including shampoos, conditioning dog fragrances, top and tail wipes, hand gels (human hands!) and detangler mists.
Ask to sample our testers next time you visit. In addition to their cleaning and detangling performance, we're sure you and your four legged friend will love the fresh, clean fragrances as much as we do!
We also have our own brand of complete dry dog food, available in several varieities to suit all appetities, all of which are hypoallergenic. Our food is sold per kilo and retails considerably less than some of the premium food brands. Please ask for a free sample next time you visit. |

| | Cats - v - Dogs! | | |  So is it true that dog owners are healthy and happier than cat owners?
Following an article in the newspapers recently, the MacAulay & Co show on BBC Radio Scotland invited Gill, our trainer and her Bearded Collie, Willo to come into the studio, meet Rhona McLeod, a radio and television presenter and real cat lover, and persuade her that a dog could enhance her life.
Willo (pictured left) was a real hit with all the crew and even Rhona gradually warmed to her following a walk in the park and lots of ball throwing!
The conclusion drawn by all was that it very much depends on the dog or the cat and how well mannered they are!!! |

| | BBC Radio Scotland | | |  BBC Radio Scotland came to visit us to record a live feature on the MacAulay and Co show
Their ‘Roving Reporter‘, Richard Cadey, tried his hand at bathing a dog. We had a great giggle helping Richard wash Daisy, a beautiful Old English Sheepdog and reporting back to the studio on how they both coped with the experience! End result was a very wet reporter and slightly bemused dog!!
BBC Radio Scotland invited us back on the MacAulay and Co show this time to talk to Fred and his team about destructive behaviour in dogs following the story of Elvis Presley’s teddy bear being eaten by a guard dog. Our trainer, Gill and her dog, Willo, offered some invaluable advice to any dogs that were listening in.
More recently we've been back on the show discussing the idea that dogs find yawning contagious and will yawn in response to humans yawning! Willo was disproving that theory on the day and was more interested it playing than yawning!!
We also were asked on air to discuss our views on the play that was written and performed for a canine audience, honestly, at the Glasgow West End Festival - Who Stole My Sausage. It was actually a great event and proved very successful with the dogs!
We also assisted a magician on the show who worked with our dog to perform a card trick - afterall we are the Wizard of Paws!!
Along with a Washington Political Correspondent we talked with Fred on his show about which breed of dog Obama should select for his daughters, following his promise of a puppy if he was elected as President. A big decision for any family. |
