Are you free on Friday at 10am?
We have a photoshoot on Friday and someone has just pulled out of the first slot - bummer!
Ideally I would love to find via this blog a heelwork to music person to take the slot so we can work on a very visual article on how to start dancing with your dog at home - much in the style as our very popular "how to do agility in your back garden" series.
I realise this is very short notice and while I was lucky stumbling on a petfood mogul via this blog, can I really find a a budding journalist in the heelwork to music field? We'll help you with the writing and the planning if you're not confident! And if you can't make Friday, never mind we do the shoots every six weeks! Please pass the word on and if poss cross post so the dancing people get to hear about this!
So, barring a doggie dancer with Friday free, is there anyone out there who thinks there dog is cover material who can make their way to sunny Slough this Friday? You get to keep the gorgeous photography as well as see your dog in the mag - can't promise cover position as it all depends if we get THE shot on the day, but you'll definitely see your dog in print. You get a doggie bag and it takes a remarkably short period of time. We get brilliant results with rewards (chicken and bacon usually) and if necessary people holding onto dog's bums if they won't do a sit stay! Only concern - please don't volunteer dogs that are flash phobic as they'll hate it.
Could your dog be on our front cover?You get a CD of images to keep that you can use in breed books, adverts in Dog World annual etc. And you'll be having a session with Tim Rose - probably the best dog photographer in the world!
This offer is open for a limited period only - we must fill our 10am slot - so don't be shy - get in touch ASAP! Ideally describe your dog if you can't send a pic and what makes him or her gorgeous!

hey ho. Good luck with the search!!
I live in High Wycombe so could get to Slough on the bus on Friday. This would mean I would only be able to bring my lovely bitsa boy, Mr Trevor and not any of my Danes - they wont let them on the bus. I might be able to wangle a lift though.
Mr Trevor does know a few freestyle moves and tricks but we are in the early stages. I will be teaching Mr T myself. We are hoping to be lucky enough to have a session with Richard Curtis in Dec at an evening he is doing in London.

I'm an internet writer, my dog is so gorgeous he's going to Discover Dogs in November to compete for Most Handsome Dog, and he does some dancing moves - although have to admit we're at the beginning of our training, so still shaping behaving using the clicker. But we can get to Slough for 10am.

So far she has learnt to weave, twist, sidestep, rollover and do figure of eights, but we are self-taught and I would welcome any hints!
She can also empty the washing machine, close doors and undo my zip and pull of my jacket.
She is a smart cookie and very pretty and we would love to appear in a photo shoot. I think we could get to Slough on Friday (even though I loath notorway driving!!)

Look forward to meeting you and thanks for volunteering!
