I get to ask my boyfriend Ash, what it's like living with a dog trainer! Having consistency around our dogs with everyone that comes into contact with them can be so helpful.

But not always easy. This is Ash's view on dog training what it's like being shown/told what to do.

Zoë Chapman is an inventor and start-up founder from London who juggles single motherhood with running a business and a very nervous young Cavachon, Bali.   We talk about the challenges of taking on an obviously very anxious young puppy, that probably didn't have a great start in life. I think Zoë had the toughest job toilet training I ever heard. And we talk about the incredibly positive impact having a dog has made on her son’s life and how he copes with anxiety.   For more Pup Talk visit the free Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/puptalk/   Or follow Niki on Instagram www.instagram.com/puptalk101/   To connect with Zoe visit www.kiddiwhizz.com
