AI’s brilliant for a lasagne recipe. For a dog like yours, you want people, you want friends who get it, you want us ❤️🙌

Nobody at LWDG organised this.

Seven of our members sorted a day between themselves, turned up in a damp field on a grey October Saturday in a sea of autumn colours and sent me this photo with flasks still in hand.

I wasn’t there, I didn’t arrange it, plan it or post about it in advance. I just got a message this afternoon and a picture of seven women who started out as names in a Facebook group, now stood shoulder to shoulder in their wellies, grinning like they’ve been doing this together for years.

Ten years ago I started this group because I couldn’t find anywhere that felt right for women like us and dogs like ours. Photos like this I love as our community support expands without me, which is the best thing it could possibly do. 🧡

We’ve been plotting something for next month and it’s been very hard to keep quiet about. 🤫

The list hears first.

Confusing a dog like yours is about the worst thing you can do to them, and it’s the easiest thing in the world to do by accident 🙈

AI doesn’t know dog training. It knows everything ever written about dog training… the gundog forum, the positive-only blog, the bloke on YouTube with the e-collar and the puppy class handout from 1999. It blends the whole lot together and hands it back to you sounding like an expert.

So you ask how to stop the pulling on Monday, and it tells you to stand still every time the lead goes tight. You ask again on Thursday, and suddenly it’s all about yanking whilst changing direction. Both sound logical and both sound confident, and it doesn’t give a s**t which one is right. It never has to see what happens next. There’s no one to answer to when it gets it wrong, and no one to come back to when it doesn’t work.

You’re left trying a bit of both, because you’re doing your best, and your dog is left guessing which set of rules is in play today.

A dog like yours can cope with wet fields, long days and the postman. What they can’t cope with is the rules changing without warning, over and over.

That’s why everything inside LWDG sits on one framework, the Two-Minds Method™, with real people who know working breeds inside out. They put their name to what they tell you, they’re still there next week, and they’ll give you the same answer they gave you this week 🐾

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to ask a chatbot at 11pm.

Every working dog owner knows the moment and knows there’s very little chance of stopping it.

Ten seconds of silence in the field, a head down, a shoulder dropped, and then that blissful wriggle on their back that tells you the next hour of your life has just been decided for you. 🦊

The drive home with every window down in October, the dog shampoo that never quite shifts it. The tomato sauce bath that smells worse than the p**p.

And them, delighted with themselves, smelling like the inside of a bin and looking at you like they’ve brought you a present.

It’s World Mental Health Day, so here’s my story to hopefully help you.

In the early hours of a Saturday morning 2010 I found out I had a brain tumour. Forty-eight hours later I was having a six-hour operation, and 4 days later on Christmas Eve I came home with 48 staples in my head, thinking what the f**k just happened.

That question didn’t leave when the staples did.

For a long time, every time I left the house I’d put on the ‘old me’ and act normal, then scurry back home as soon as I could to decompress and hide.

It took me ages to accept and call that what it was, which was PTSD.

So if you’re the one holding it together in public and falling apart once the front door shuts, I see you.

Trauma doesn’t only come from the obviously awful stuff. It can come from a diagnosis, a hospital stay, a birth, a loss, a death, or anything that happened faster than your head could keep up with.

It’s worth telling one person this week id there’s part of you that’s struggling. A friend, your GP, anyone who’ll listen without trying to fix it.

You don’t need to have it all worked out first, and you don’t need to wait until it’s bad enough, sometimes just by talking it helped me normalise what the ‘new’ version of me needed.

It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok if it’s been years and it still catches you.

It’s ok to need a bit of hiding time after acting normal all day. It’s not ok to try to deal with it alone so don’t ❤️

Every gundog owner has a fake training appointment in their back pocket. Some of us have used it more than once this month. Some of us have used it to get out of all sorts, what’s your dog been a cover story for? 🙊
