About Me

Welcome, I was once an Irish street kid who lived with a pack of stray dogs for 3 years. You can read about this incredible time of my life in my memoir, THE BOY WHO TALKED TO DOGS by Skyhorse in New York. It was described by Malachy McCourt as 'astonishing, well-told story'. It's also available on Audible.

Is your dog ignoring you?


Is your dog ignoring you?



If your dog sometimes acts suspiciously deaf when you call it, then it’s trying to prove again and again that it’s your Boss.

It wins a point every single time it ignores you. If something important is going on and it ignores you, then it wins even more points. Aloof, snobby behavior also wins extra points.

Solution: If your dog likes using this challenge against you, be prepared. INSTANTLY step in every single time your dog ignores you. For example clip a leash on it and make it walk a few steps with you. Or walk straight through it with your chin raised and a bored, haughty expression on your face so your dog is forced to move out of your way.

Remember: Every second your dog gets away with ignoring you is worth a point, so don’t just stand there watching your dog helplessly – DO SOMETHING!
Dogs that get away with ignoring you are on their way to becoming little furry emperors.
