Yes, we’ve done Dragons Den

Written on 21st January 2022. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog, Latest.

Every time a new series of Dragons Den appears on the BBC I think back to our time in front of the Dragons (Duncan Banatyne, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Piers Linney and Kelly Hoppen) back in April in 2013. Lots of people think they saw us on the show but the honest truth is our pitch never aired and I will explain exactly why… Having been approached whilst at Crufts In early March 2013...

Close, but no Cigar!

Written on 11th January 2022. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog, Latest.

So where has the sudden surge of Poo Keys, Doo-kee, DooDoo clips, Poop Loops and the like suddenly sprung from? Everybody and his DOG seem to be making them! Don’t get me wrong, anything to encourage dog owners to be more responsible is a good thing but I’m a little baffled by the popularity of something that gets close but still misses the mark! We’re not addressing the real problem of smell...

Buy in haste, repent at leisure!

Our ethos has always been to make a fantastic product which does the job properly! We have achieved this whilst paying our brilliant Cornish production people a good wage and all the rightful VAT and Corportation Tax (a very strange ethos to have apparently these days). To put it in short, our prodcuts are Made in England, by adults. An unfortunate consequence in having this ethos is that our products...

Why Anne Main is Wrong

Written on 20th March 2017. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

I feel there are few people better placed to comment on the behaviour and attitude of dog owners in regards to dog fouling. For the last 8 years I have travelled the UK and spoken to hundreds of thousands of dog owners about the problem of dog fouling, including the dumped poo bag problem the lack of bins and where they believe it is acceptable to not pick up. The biggest problem is not the lack...

BBC Countryfile Autumn Diaries

Written on 25th October 2016. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

What a great and informative piece on Monday 24th Novembers, BBC Countryfile Autumn Diaries programme Episode 2. So many times when I’m at a show I have a discussion with poeple about why we have to pick up everywhere. It isn’t just about stepping in it, which is nasty and annoying, it’s also about the health of our countryside, water table and farm animals. Picking up after your...

Your dog’s poo is toxic

Written on 26th November 2014. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

At last, some one has put up the sign that tells it how it is! YOUR DOG’S WASTE IS TOXIC. This is a great poster placed by the National Trust in St Agnes, Cornwall. Lets hope this starts a new trend of telling people the truth. Picking up after your dog isn’t about fines and avoiding getting caught, it’s about doing the right thing all the time, and knowing why it’s the right...

Ebola in Dogs

Written on 9th October 2014. Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Ebola in dogsWhilst listening to the news today regarding the Ebola victim in Spain I learnt that her dog had been destroyed as it could also have contracted the disease from her.Â I have no idea whether Ebola can be passed on via animals, and it would appear that scientists have differing opinions themselves, but it did cause a certain amount of fear in my mind.Â I’m not one to pay much heed...
