This article was written in July. Can you believe that this has happened again since then. The same person is resposible for a little girl having to have plastic surgery on her leg. What an idiot!!! Take some damn responsibility for your pet.

At last I have been able to catch up and what a lovely story. It just goes to show that the right owner can make such a difference to any dog. Accepting advice and acting on it is the key.

Hi Karen,
I’ve got a rescued Rotti that was quite flaky when I got her. All cleared up after putting her onto a good quality dried organic food, introducing oily fish into her diet and washing her with Lush’s Soak and Float shampoo bar. Brilliant stuff, works on humans and horses too.

I just read that a repeal of the Dangerous Dog act has passed primay on Wed Oct 26th does anyone know how this will affect Lennox? Will it mean that he’ll get to go back to his family? GOD I pray so.

Hi Karen

At every opportunity I will extol the virtues of re homing, rather than buy from a breeder. Sadly the misconception that dogs in rescue are all damaged still prevails, so this story is testament to the real joy that these dogs can bring.

Many thanks for sharing and proving me right!

I am relieved that JS will no longer be given prime time air time demonstrating very outdated, irresposible, unethical, unprofessional, unkind and unfair methods. Sadlly some damage has already been done to the professional dog training and pet dog owning world. Professional dog trainers and behaviourists will have to work with unrealistic expectaions of vulnerable pet dog owners that,believe wrongly that the methods seen on tv are good and effective and will have to readdress and rebalance dog owners expectations. Sadly there are dog owners that will just copy what they saw, putting themselves, their families, visitors, the general public and their dogs at risk. I hope that the BBC have truly learnt something valuable about kind fair effective dog training, dog welfare and proper research prior to selecting an alleged expert in the field of dog training and or behaviour so that this never ever happens again. Well done to everyone that participated in the petition and took action in a professional and united way.

Good point very well made Karen and thank you for putting so much effort into it. We’ll never know how many lives will be saved by not broadcasting these appalling techniques but there will be many and a good proportion of that is down to your hard work. I’ve been thrilled to see how this has brought so much of the dog world together and I hope this chap now finds someone to teach him some understanding of how to treat sentient creatures. Best wishes, Tamara
