    , and how many of these clones have died from falling from The Tightrope ?

    Shhh, you're not supposed to ask questions like that. She is not a loving pet owner, she is an animal trainer of not just dogs but other animals as well. They are not always trained with love but fear as well. Apparently she is based in Belgium, why? do they have less strict animal laws such as we do , do they have an equivelant of the RSPCA.?
    I love dogs and have had many over the years , they have been part of the family, I doubt if her animals are, they are a commodity to earn her a living.

    Yep, apparently so! Matisse cheated in his act...:D but if he was afraid of heights, fair enough, Jules absolutely did the right thing in using the double who is more of a dare-devil and was happy walking on the rope.
    Did Lorraine interview both dogs today and ask them if they were forced to do daredevil stunts, jeez sorry I missed it, Id have loved to hear what they answered...

    Are you still here going on & on about the same thing - the dog wasn't ill treated nor was it cruelty just get over it . Have you been in touch with the RSPCA yet about your problems?

    They said "Woof"

    Yesterday you were complaining that Jules 'forced' Matisse to walk a tightrope. Now that we know that she didn't 'force' Matisse to do anything, in fact that she even used a stunt double because Matisse doesn't like walking tightropes you are still convinced that Matisse is being mistreated.

    If you are so convinced, you will have no hesitation in filling out this form:

    https://www.rspca.org.uk/utilities/contactus/reportcruelty/online

    But you won't because you know that the RSPCA have better things to do.

    I am happy with most dog tricks, but making a dog walk across narrow ropes high up was just in my view, to much, the dog looked nervous and not that happy?

    I know you have a dog, at least I think it was you I was chatting to about our love of dogs, so you would know that dog was not scared, concentrating yes, but I did not see any fear from that dog. Jules is well known at Crufts and has the dogs welfare at heart

    Success seems to have gone to Matisse and Mace's heads ...
    It appears that they have now got themselves an agent ...
    I believe her name is Wendy ... they met on the show apparently ...
    I have it on good authority that Wendy will be appearing on the Lorraine show tomorrow morning to answer any of your questions or concerns ..!!!

    It wasn't cruel, just dull and pointless.

    It wasnt matisse on the ropes it was her other dog , theyve just been on the lorainne show and she said matisse didnt like the rooes so the other dog done that bit , she she hasnt been cruel at all the other dog was confident she has 3 dogs

    Well there we go. Jules did not force a dog who did not like the ropes to do it but used a dog that was far more comfortable. Animal abuse? Bah.

    This still came across as a circus type trick, and we stopped that, I wonder how much further she and other dog trainers will go to get even more harder tricks. Same ol same ol never works, and I think this should be stopped now before it makes the dogs in any act become the new generation 'Circus' show!

    Yes. Matisse's stunt double said "Jules is so cruel to me that she gives me a dog biscuit every time I do a trick,"

    So we now know it was no even him, but the other dog, I wonder if she tried to get the poor dog to this before she gave up and used the stand-in.

    It might be a good idea to get a response from the RSPCA on the rope trick!

    .....Seriously?

    The RSPCA will just laugh at your complaint, I'm sure. It's about as cruel as telling a dog to **** himself.

    Not only is it an utter disgrace to have animals performing as "entertainment" but she mislead the viewers as well. Jamie should have won.

    Don't blame you but don't get your hopes up they will do nothing.
