This is our (almost) weekly segment where we review the content posted on\u00a0our Twitter<\/a>\u00a0over the course of the week. It\u2019s a long post! So make sure you grab a coffee and prepare yourself for some serious reading.<\/p>\n

But before we get started, have a look at Daisy from our 2012 litter<\/a>, all grown up (and on a horse?!).<\/p>\n

Tweet of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our favourite tweet this week goes to a video showing training a dog for a voluntary blood draw<\/a>. This is something that is not that amazing – plenty of zoo animals are taught to do similar behaviours. However, as dog owners, we get into habits of physically manipulating our dogs to ‘do what we want’ instead of training them to do it voluntarily. This is just a lovely example of what we could achieve with our dogs.<\/p>\n
