"There is more than one way to skin a cat", as the old saying goes, probably not real popular with cat lovers though.

While some of us use our knowledge of dog listening to help dogs by sharing our knowedge with other people, some use it directly with dogs in need.

For instance, by fostering dogs while they are waiting to rehomed, Glynis Nott, is taking a truly hands on approach. She provides these dogs with a stress free environment and strong leadership, enabling them to actally relax for once in their life.

The flip side to this is the disruption to her own circumstances this has initially. As the foster dog setlles in and their true personality starts to shine through, it would be impossible not to start bonding with these dogs.

Take in a dog in need, get them right, and then have to part ways - a truly selfless act. Of couse this means that providing the new home does the right thing by their new furry friend, Glynis has made a huge difference to the world of one of man's best friends... and then can do it over again.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow"
