Graeme Sims has a new website, The Graeme Sims Method - and dog lovers in Italy are in for a treat, as it's a bi-lingual website. Now not only English speakers can discover Graeme's wonderful life story, his love of dogs and his training methods. I've met Graeme many times and he is always delightful company, full of insights into dogs' minds, and never short of an amusing or thought-provoking anecdote.

Buddy Star and Rusty get their teeth into Stagbars

I love discovering new products that my dogs might enjoy

Sounds good so far, the only question left was would my dogs be as enthusiastic as I was?
