Thirteen years to the day that I found Chandi in the pound, and we fell in love. Read our story in our new book, released 29/3/2012, but you can pre-order *now* -  click here! If you take a look, please click ‘like’ and ‘share’ with your friends on Facebook and Twitter – thank you!

Chandi and I are pleased to be supporting the ‘Don’t Cook Your Dog’ Campaign. Every year, people forget how hot a car can get and dogs die a painful death as a result. Please help spread the word and let’s work together to educate and remind people not to leave a dog in a hot car, so this never need happen again.

Chandi and I had an amazing time on the  Britain’s Got Talent Live Tour – we played venues up and down the country including, The Edinburgh Playhouse, Wembley and The 02 Arena! We loved meeting all our wonderful fans and appreciate your support so much!

Chandi and I were very privileged to meet the legend that is Jayne Torvill while we were at the 02 – we used Torvill and Dean’s Mack and Mabel routine as the inspiration for our Crufts 2007 routine – I can’t believe I got to meet Jayne and tell her just that!

While we were in Glasgow, we were invited to appear on ‘The Hour’ which was a fabulous expereince – you can tell from the speed that Chandi worked that she was having a great time too! Click here to watch Chandi in action!

We are excited about the future and you can see us  performing next at The Shrewsbury Flower Show on both days.

Chandi and I have been invited to the première of ‘Cats and Dogs – The Revenge of Kitty Galore in Holland Park, and we’re very excited about walking up the red carpet!

****Just want to say a special ‘hello’ to a very special little girl I met yesterday. Her name is Charlotte and it was a privilege to meet her and hear all about her dogs – especially Treacle – together they won first place at a show for their dancing! Good work! You go girls! XXXXX *******

*************Thank you so much to everyone that voted for Chandi and I during Britain’s Got Talent – I am so grateful for your support, and overwhelmed and humbled by the amazing things you are saying about my beautiful girl! We won our semi final with a staggering 58.1% of the public vote, which put us in second place going into the Final. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and there are some exciting things in the pipeline for both of us as a result.

We very much hope to keep entertaining our fans, and hope that you will keep supporting ‘me and my girl’!  *********************

BRITAIN’S GOT  TALENT, 17.4.10:

*********************************************************************

Chandi is a world class HTM and Freestyle dog – hard to imagine that I found her in a council dog pound when she was only 4 months old!

********STOP PRESS: Chandi and I won all three HTM and Freestyle Finals at Crufts 2009, making Chandi the only dog to have won all three Finals at the same Crufts. In fact Chandi is the only dog to have won both HTM and Freestyle Finals  either at the same Crufts or in different years. In total, Chandi and I have won four Crufts Finals, two more than any other dog!**********

There are videos of us performing winning routines on the ‘Canine Freestyle’ page,  the ‘Heelwork to Music/Dressage’ page, and the Crufts 2009 page. 

My new Freestyle Training Manual is also for sale via this site. It is suitable for beginners through to advanced   – full details on the relevant page.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave such wonderful comments; I truly appreciate each and every one!

We are working on two new routines, that I hope will not disappoint our friends and fans from around the world – your support means so much to us, and I hope you continue to enjoy our work!
