We control pretty much every aspect of a dog’s life. From the time that get up, have food, what they eat, where they stay, who they see, how much exercise they get and finally what time they go to bed.  And this is normally the same for our dog, day in day out. Probably not a lot of difference to some owners lives. The problem is that a lack of variety in a dog’s life can lead to behavioural issues, health problems related to stress, boredom and a lack of energy. We discuss some of the ways that you can enrich your dogs life, and the great thing is it doesn't have to be expensive.   The Sunday Cafe is hosted and produced by Mel Homer, the technical editor is Geoff Rooke.
