A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

We’re joined by Award-winning landscape gardener, Matt Keightley, talking about his showcases at this year’s Chelsea Flower show. In addition to his inspiring garden designs, he’s also launching anew APP called Space Lift - all about helping people get the best out of their outdoor space. Whether in the country or urbania, a ‘garden' should be a haven that promotes positive experiences, which goes for your dogs and cats too. The app is a simple tool to help everyone from choosing appropriate plants to optimising the space available. It aims to help Brits who a re keen to create the perfect outdoor space, in fact, in some research Matt discovered that a third of Brits (35%) dream of a calming sanctuary, while others prioritise family-friendly spaces (27%), outdoor dining (23%) and entertaining areas (22%). As warmer weather arrives, over half (56%) planning to dust off the shovel and shears this upcoming May bank holiday.

We discuss the importance of setting boundries, choosing the right breed, what a good 'starter' dog is, the patience needed for puppy training, and the crucial principle of 'Adopt Don't Shop'.

We’re joined by Author and Photographer, Paul Koudounaris, who has previously been on the show talking about Pet Cemeteries in his book Faithful unto Death. Today we’re chatting about railroad dogs and his latest book called Go West Young Dog. As a really fascinating read, the book uncovers a somewhat hidden pocket of canine history about some brave, vagabond  dogs that became famous by traveling - alone-  on the world's first rail networks. Paul concentrates on the American dogs, not that there weren’t ‘railroad’ dogs in other continents.  Many of these dogs gained ‘celebrity’ status - their stories are  funny, heartwarming, triumphant, and tragic, or all at the same time. As Paul says: 'I believe that within those stories, these dogs have some lessons to teach us.'
