Press 01 to tell me your dog has been asked to leave the local obedience club because he won't sit, wait, down or come when called (even when on lead) so you thought you would try agility.
Press 02 if your Labrador is morbidly obese and you thought you would try agility.
Press 03 if you want 30 minutes of advice and have no intention of paying for it.
Press 04 if you describe your dog as 'a little bit naughty' when what you really mean is that the b*st*rd bites ... hard.

Press 18 if you have eleven Jack Russell bitches in a small flat and you want me to teach them not to fight each other.
Press 19 if you already know everything about your breed because this is the fourth one you have had and I cannot tell you anything new.
Press 20 if you want me to pick up your dear departed dog's ashes from the vets and keep them at my house because you are too upset to have them in your home (true!).
