Latest Edition

When you recall your dog, are you hoping your dog comes back, or do you actually know? This is the question posed by dog trainer and behaviourist Caroline Menteith in her regular column this month. It includes lots of useful tips on how dogs aren’t good at generalising and how owners sometimes inadvertently punish good behaviour.

Elsewhere in this edition we’ve got a 15-page smallholder special that looks at how to get started with your dream smallholding project, how to establish boundaries (from fences to hedges), staying on top of pests, courses to take, and Instagram sensation Lucy Hutchings (aka @shegrowsveg) looks at five unusual vegetables to grow in your garden or smallholding this year.

Finally, we’ve got all the latest news on efforts to stop the family farm tax in its tracks.
