Bark Back #27: Dog Travel Tips, Bark Air & Jack's New Tail

Ask Simon: Dog Dilemmas

This week on Oh My Dog, our resident dog expert Simon Parry-Moreno is back to answer your questions. Why does one dog refuse to eat from a bowl? Why does another sprint across roads? Can moving house make a dog anxious? And what exactly is going on inside our dogs' minds? Jack , Seann and Sara also share their own dog dramas - from Mildred's banana-fuelled escape to Dolly's hatred of windy weather. Plus, Simon gives us updates on Leia and the ever-growing Strudel, explains why dogs love destroying soft toys, and reveals what our four-legged friends would actually eat in the wild.

Paul Tonkinson! (Part 2 of 2)

Part Two of this week's episode: our chat with the brilliant Paul Tonkinson is finally here! 🐾 Paul tells us all about cockapoo, Billie Jean, from morning garden rituals and gentle parenting approaches to the dog-related reason he had to postpone running an ultra marathon across the Sahara. We also hear about the dogs that came before Billie Jean, why dogs make the best therapists, whether running with your dog is ever a good idea, and the lengths Paul went to in order to make this interview happen after technical gremlins struck. Plus: dog nicknames, microwaved dog bowls, and the all-important question... does Billie Jean kiss Paul on the mouth? Paul's hilarious book, Running Through Sand: An Aging Comedian's Ill Thought Out Ultra in the Sahara, is out now.

Oh My Dog with Paul Tonkinson (Part 1 of 2)

Due to a technical hiccup, this week's episode of Oh My Dog is coming to you in two parts. 🐾 In part one, Jack reflects on scattering the ashes of his beloved dogs, Seann shares an update on Mildred's new garden adventures, and Sara reports back from a fascinating Dogs Trust event at St James's Palace. There's also plenty of chat about rescue dogs, Staffies, fake plants and why sometimes taking a short break from your dog isn't such a bad thing. And don't worry - Paul Tonkinson is still joining us. Unfortunately, a missing audio track means we'll be re-recording our conversation with Paul this week, and we'll bring you part two on Tuesday. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back here very soon for the rest of the episode.
