Dog Health & Welfare
A happy dog is a healthy dog. Dog owners experience all kinds of health and welfare issues from the time of deciding to take a dog on and throughout its life. 'Dog health and welfare' offers expert advice and guidance on dealing with these issues, plus we answer questions frequently asked by dog owners, such as “Will I catch warts from my dog?” and "Can dogs catch colds?" Also we have some top tips for dog owners that include how to remove tar from furry paws and how to remove dog hair from car seats!
Ask us any questions on dog healthcare and welfare info@londondogforum.co.uk and we will endeavour to answer as soon as we can.
Human/Dog Interaction
Dogs play a far more important role in our lives than often we realise. They influence our health and well-being, they educate, they work with us and in some cases are literally act as a life support. In this category we examine the ways in which dogs have formed a relationship with man throughout history and look at the part they play in our lives today. We highlight some of the organisations that train dogs to assist humans and we look at some very special personal human/dog relationships.
Dog Training and Dog Behaviour
A well behaved dog is one that is more acceptable in society and is a greater pleasure to own. London Dog Forum offers help and guidance on training and behaviour from puppyhood to adulthood using kind reward-based methods. We have featured articles by members of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors and the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers, also we explore alternative methods that have proved to be highly affective such as the Tellington Touch.

Our latest celebrity dog lover is singer and songwriter, Judith Owen speaks openly about suffering depression and tells us how dogs have changed her life.
Dog Bereavement
Dogs are so much a part of our lives that when we lose one, it is as devastating as losing a close friend and family member. In 'Dog Bereavement' we hope to provide the comfort and knowledge that will help bereaved owners to cope with this difficult time. There is also a special site, 'Dogs In Memorium' where owners can remember their beloved pets that have passed away.
Dog Rescue
In the UK we are lucky to have many wonderful dog rescue and welfare centres, and without their help we could be as overpopulated with diseased strays as many other countries are today. These centres take dogs off the streets, neuter and microchip them, give them veterinary treatment and nurse them back to health when necessary. They address behaviourial problems and take time and trouble in rehoming dogs in order to avoid them being brought back into care. Dog welfare centres would not survive without the help of volunteers and foster carers and people who are prepared to devote their lives to helping dogs. The welfare centres are desperate for people to adopt dogs their dogs, but they can also be helped in so many other ways. Please give your support so that these organisations can continue to do their amazing work.
