There are three short stories in this segment:

1) Crate Training Japanese Style
A very funny story from internationally renowned dog trainer Terry Ryan about how the language barrier can sometimes get in the way of communicating the right message! Along with the fun of this story it also has a terrific idea about getting a dog used to its crate*. (See side notes below)

2) Safety Zones, Timeout For Dogs and Kids
We recorded over 18 hours of Terry Ryan when she spoke to some of Australia's finest dog trainers. We liked some of the novel ideas Terry uses to ensure better behaved dogs and ultimately better behaved kids!. A safety zone is one way this can be achieved.

3) What Makes A Good Dog Trainer?
 We get asked this question quite a lot and it's one that can be difficult to answer because there are so many different training methods and styles.

But Terry Ryan has made it simple - even for us!

* About Crates:
We'll have more stories on crate training soon with Dr Harry. But have you ever wondered about the real use of crates? People often see them for the first time at dog or cat shows. They are just a portable 'den' really. A great way for your pet to have its own space for a short period of time - like travelling to the vet, or on holidays while you pack the car to go home. And as long as they are introduced to them at an early age, you'll have no problems later on and your pet will thank you for their own 'special place' they can go to anywhere, anytime.
