Dr Roger Abrantes IACP is an interview we have both been eagerly waiting for. Dr. Abrantes is an author on the behaviour of animals He has a PhD in evolutionary biology and ethology and a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy. He is the divisional director at the Ethology Institute Cambridge where he holds regular lectures.

Because of the work or people like Dr Abrantes, we now understand a lot more about the behaviour of animals. One of the key areas that he has stood out for us is his definitions on aggression and predatory behaviour.

He was also kind enough to correct us both on a mistake in our understanding that will be beneficial for the entire training community.

It was a genuine honour and privilege to have a conversation with this wonderful person.

Ending dog world friendships can be a tough thing to do. Quite often these people are considered to be our family. They are people we may know very well and have been a part of each others lives for years. In many ways it can be like we are in a marriage.

It’s often not any easy thing to do to walk away from people you consider friends, family or maybe even real relatives. However, sometimes you need may need to. Relationships can become so toxic that it’s not good for either party to be involved in such situations.

You may need to do a little active soul searching yourself to discover if you are the problem. Sometimes, we point the bone of blame conveniently at others before we look within. If there’s often ongoing issues, you have to look at what is the common denominator.

An effective strategy in improving and maintaining good friendships is great communication. People can’t read minds and assumptions are considered the mother of all stuff ups.

Fortunately for us, our dogs will still love us and that’s a great resolution at the end of a tough day. We still need our friendships and our relationships. They still provide us with good health, good opportunity and love.

It’s better overall for us if we continue to enjoy our social interactions
