ASK BRUCE:
MY DOG IS OBSESSED WITH OUR CAT.
This month, reader Fiona McDonald asks how to stop her one-year-old dog from pestering their cat. This is a common problem, and while each dog, cat and household situation is different, some general dog training rules apply. At Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, we’re big on dog training and have an excellent dog trainer, Andy Weaver, who regularly visits our centres to teach our staff. So we asked Andy for his views. He explained that the best way to deal with any dog training problem is to confront it and train through it, rather than avoid it. Andy suggests you take control of bringing the dog and cat together, rather than allowing them to meet freely. So, have them in the same room with the dog’s bed, keep the dog on the lead and ask her to lie down on her bed, while allowing the cat to roam around. This supervised introduction lets your dog see the cat is just another member of the family and she will become used to the cat being around while under your control. Keep repeating the exercise over time, from five minutes to 10 minutes and so on. Eventually, the novelty of the cat will wear off with your dog and they will happily co-exist – they may even become best buddies! Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Cobham. Do you have any dog training or canine behavioural questions which you would like to ask Bruce? Send your questions to :-

LOOKING FOR
DOG
LOVERS!
I am looking to add to my existing team of genuine dog lovers who enjoy looking after dogs when their owners go on holiday. This does not have to be a full time commitment. Some of my carers only offer weekends or school holidays. You must be at home during the day with no more than 1 dog of your own & no children under 6 years of age & have your own secure garden. Ideal for someone working from home, a school teacher or administrator, house person or retired.
Would you like a little extra income? Roz Bourne phone: 01372 453047 | 07969 196 227 email :kt@waggingtailsuk.co.uk www.waggingtailsuk.co.uk/kt/carer-enquiry

The Director Said,‘CUT!’ Silent Witness - what a show! I think it has few peers. But I have a nagging worry as it travels through the years. Livers, lungs and severed spleens are being splashed across our screens More now than they’ve ever been. What more is there to see? Bladders, gall and otherwise: brains and private parts Are snipped and sliced and sloshed around and geared to chill our hearts. I ache for those who’ve lost their nuts and bolts and portions of their guts That undergo a thousand cuts. There can’t be more to see?
POEM
I’ve been a silent witness too. But now I have to speak. I still enjoy the programme but my stomach’s feeling weak. And what happens to those missing bits? Fed to fish? Flung in skips? Or served for breakfast at the Ritz? Dinner? Not for me. ...

COMPETITION Driving abroad, especially for the first time, can be a costly and nightmare situation to the unwary, a confusing experience with the unfamiliar traps of local laws and prohibitions lurking to dig deep into your holiday savings. A familiarising read-up before you venture where you have never previously been makes good sense - and that is why experienced motoring enthusiast Julian Parish’s “Essential Guide to Driving in Europe” is a gem of a paperback to avoid falling into traps that ensnare so many innocents abroad. Just released by Veloce Publishing for just under a tenner, it is an A-to-U guide...Austria to the Ukraine...of just about everything you need to know and plan for your upcoming drive through wherever your journey is set to take you across the Channel. All the key facts on how to stay legal in 50 countries, speed limits, road signs, local regulations and even what to do if you are a car crime victim or involved in a smash-up, are lucidly assembled.
In short, it’s a real treat, so handy and informative and superb value for money. I am giving away one FREE to the winner of our competition,

ike all new ventures, it could have been a dis-Astra area, but Vauxhall’s seventh generation model of the marque looks like a surefire success. And close-fought rivals Ford Focus, VW and Peugeot will feel a blow on their bankings as this punchy fiveseater, lighter but roomier than its predecessors, makes its hit on the hatchback front. I confess I’ve never been a fan of what I regarded as staid and uninspiring efforts by Vauxhall’s stuck-in-the-mud designers, but bless ‘em, they have won me over with this curvy and sculpted nimble newcomer. And I forecast the new-look, revitalised, re-designed and re-engineered challenger to every other hatch on the planet will find a niche among those of us who like looks underpinned by economic values, offering a sensible reason to spend. It’s as if the drawing board users at Vauxhall HQ have listened to the dissatisfied bleats of the likes of you and me and converted them to what will be songs of praise for the new wave of Astra, one the UK’s staple
feeds to a value-hungry mass of wouldbe owners. From a practical standpoint, with five seats and a cabin roomy enough for a six-foot passenger to sit behind a sixfoot driver, the Astra has mastered entry into the comfort zone, generally a rarity among near-budget cars. Ironically, the new threat to the old rivals is slightly smaller on the outside but more spacious inside than its older sibling, and the information and help kit is clear and well-ordered, with an uncomplicated touch-screen. What’s more - and this is a real handy breakthrough - there is a device dubbed OnStar. Let me explain: it is a highbandwidth connection and permanent link to a call centre and tracking process. Dead easy to use, an answer to any SOS. All you do, if needs urgently be, is call the operator and he/she will give you traffic updates, or download, say, an address to your satnav without any need to be poking distractingly at the screen with your fingers. If you’re unlucky enough to suffer a crash, the controller, taking advantage of a powerful antenna and connection
with its wi-fit hotspot, can summon help - and just in case you forget to switch off and don’t want to risk the rain and leave the dinner table, you can lock the whole system from your phone. There is only one body style, but you have the choice of eight engines, five petrol and three diesel. If you want a quickie, then go for the 1.6 turbo, but for my money, the real star of the Astra show is the petrol-drinker 1.4-litre 3 cylinder turbo. Steering, lightweight and ultrasensitive, and sooper-dooper efficient brakes that don’t snatch make for a relaxing experience, whether you are skedaddling around twisty country lanes or in the melee of motorway madness. All in all, and fittingly, in the words of my old Royal Air Force service motto “Per ardua ad astra”... “Through Adversity to the Stars”, the adversity in this instance being a whole range of rivals now really up against it.... Specification: Vauxhall Astra 1.4T. BHP 150. Top speed 134 mph. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. MPG 51.4.Price £19,595.

C L A Y G A T E MUSIC FESTIVAL
This month, I want to pay tribute to Peter Whitehead and his team who recently organised a very successful Claygate Music Festival. Among the wonderful artists to appear this year at the Village Hall and the Holy Trinity Church were Rick Wakeman, Martin Turner, a founder member of Wishbone Ash, Neil Innes, once of the Bonzo Dog band and an excellent Blues line-up which featured Brooks Williams (an amazing guitarist who hails from American’s Deep South), the Fran McGillivray Band from East London and Tony Devenport who sounds at times like Richie Havens. On his album, he compares with Marvin Gaye The Blues night was organised by Peter, along with Roger McCormick and Felix Riley who both broadcast on our hyperlocal internet radio station, Brooklands Radio (brooklandsradio.co.uk). Brooklands Radio is a not-for-profit radio station which has been broadcasting on the internet for 7 years, reflecting the latest news, travel and events in Surrey. Felix, a former Radio 1 producer, is a comedy writer and Roger was a lawyer in the City for many years and now runs a research foundation, as well as being a part-time university lecturer. Roger has a lifelong love of rock and blues and says he can’t give up his love of the music he grew up with and doesn’t want to try. I really enjoy The Blues Hour, co-hosted by Roger and Felix which airs Friday night at 11pm, as well as Cool Connections which goes out Wednesdays at 7 pm. Both shows are uploaded to Mixcloud which is free and easy to access. Just search under the name of the shows and you should find them. It makes a refreshing change to hear presenters who’ve been given carte blanche to play what they want and can therefore genuinely enthuse over their musical choices. With it’s eclectic mix of music and chat, it’s good to know that Elmbridge is so well covered and that the future of community radio is in safe hands.

AWARD-WINNING LOCAL GARDEN DESIGNER SELINA BOTHAM CONSIDERS
W H AT M A K E S A G A R D E N S P E C I A L ? Being outside is completely different to being inside. (OK, I know this sounds very obvious but please bear with me!). There is something very special about being outside.. To see the clouds and the sky, feel the warmth of the sun and to experience the wind on our faces… and enjoy the sights, smells and touch of a green and changing space. You’ve only got to witness how different a child’s behaviour is when they’ve been playing outside, and appreciate how a breath of fresh air clears you own head, to realise that all the research must be right. Being outside in a pleasant green space really is good for our health and wellbeing. Magazines and newspapers seem to be telling us that we should make the garden feel like an extension of the house, but I have been thinking about that recently. If we do make the garden feel like the house, aren’t we somehow missing the point? Do we really want our gardens to be extensions of our houses? Shouldn’t we instead develop and celebrate the differences? We will need to make sure our gardens are easily accessible and also make sure the garden is beautiful, so that it’s a pleasure to be in. But I think it’s best to
38 Looklocal Magazine - May 2016
enjoy the difference and not to try and create another ‘inside feeling’ space in the garden. After all, why would we want our garden to be like our house? Do we seriously want to merge the two experiences? So, here are a few key ways to focus on the outside:1. Make the transition into the garden a specific experience to be enjoyed and not an accidental occurrence. Use a step or a change of material, perhaps plant a scented plant or have soft foliage to brush against or walk over. 2. Create a green tunnel effect. Planting both sides of the route out can be very effective. 3. Create a focal point (or several) in the garden and destinations that you will want to reach. This will help to draw you outside.
4. Use places within your garden to create an escape from the house where you can retreat to. Enjoy the view back to the house and feel ‘away from it all’. 5. Take a mini-break in your garden, perhaps with a book and a cold drink. Lie there and enjoy the garden and watch the clouds go by. Selina Botham is an awardwinning garden designer based in Claygate.
