A barking-mad fee to train your dog | Letters
11/03/26 5:49 PM
Dr Susannah O’Hanlon responds to an article that claimed in-person dog training can cost £150 an hourYour article (Bone of contention: why dog trainers are at war, 28 October) says “in-person training can cost £150 an hour”. I do wonder where you got that figure from. I am a postgraduate-qualified clinical animal behaviourist and an accredited dog trainer with the Professional Association of Canine Trainers, with more than 16 years’ experience, and I charge £60 an hour for in-person training in affluent Cambridge. Delighted to hear I can double my prices.I don’t endorse the use of prong, shock or spray collars as I work under the assumption that most people, like me, love their dogs and don’t want to subject them to unpleasant startles, pain or fear. Treats are part of what we use, but relationships are built on so much more than food. Dr Susannah O’Hanlon Oakington, Cambridgeshire Continue reading...
A moment that changed me: I was terrified of my own body – until a surprising 20-mile bike ride
11/04/26 6:45 AM
I grew up with spinal conditions that solidified my sense of being ‘weak and weird’. By my late 30s, I was feeling burnt out. But an invitation from a colleague set me on an unexpected and exhilarating new pathIn 2023, I was in the Alps trekking the 80-mile Tour du Mont Blanc when there came a moment I was no longer trekking, exactly. I was on my hands and knees. Frozen. And then I started to cry. Others were casually bopping past me, up and over like water around a stone. But I was stuck. Why can’t I move? I thought.I was not always fit enough to trek 80 miles in the Alps. As a child, I was the one who always got picked last in gym class. I would have picked me last too: by any measure, I was the most physically awkward kid in my year group. Other students bullied me and I was ashamed of my body. I felt weird, weak and sad.

Allotmentcore: why everyone is dressing like Barbara in The Good Life
10/26/26 10:00 AM
Clogs, chore jackets, straw hats and woven baskets are the look of the season. But are the brands and people embracing this aesthetic really doing any gardening?Lately, it feels like you can’t move for clogs. Everywhere you look, it’s straw hats, dungarees, floaty dresses, chore jackets and basket bags – and that’s in city centres, not garden centres. This is the rise of “allotmentcore” – somewhere between the linen-clad luxury of the “coastal grandmother” and the whimsical outdoorsiness of “cottagecore” – and it’s coming for all of our autumns.“I’d describe it as Little House on the Prairie meets Felicity Kendal in The Good Life, meets Bill and Ben,” says Mal James, professor of fashion design at the University of Edinburgh. “With the overall style of an imaginary love child of Monty Don and Pamela Anderson, the reinvented queen of garden chic.” It’s true that Anderson – once most famous for sporting a high-leg red swimsuit – has more recently become a pioneer of the allotmentcore style, living “romantically” in midi dresses and bandanas, frequently clutching floral bouquets. Popular brands include the family-run Carrier Company from Norfolk, Danish designers Skall Studio and Welsh-founded lifestyle label Toast. As online fashion publication Who What Wear put it: “If it looks like you’re ready to sport a pair of pruning shears at any moment, you’ve got the look right.” Continue reading...
