Dog whisperer Cesar Millan helped our pet accept our new baby, says Karen Gillan
Scots Hollywood star Karen Gillan has revealed she hired a world-famous 'dog whisperer' in a desperate attempt to get her pooch to bond with her newborn baby. The Inverness-born actress said her pet dog Turtle, a bull terrier-poodle mix, had been upset and acting aggressively since the arrival of her daughter Clementine in December. She added she and husband Nick Kocher had fallen into 'despair' at their failed attempts to get the pair to live together at their home in the United States. Ms Gillan turned to dog behaviourist Cesar Millan who rose to fame with his Dog Whisperer TV series, which has been broadcast in more than 80 countries. The 37-year-old Hollywood star said: 'Being a dog parent has been my most challenging role because our dog really requires someone who is more naturally authoritative than I am. 'I got Turtle five years ago and she was a rescue dog. As she got a little bit older she started to show signs of aggression when people would come into the house. 'I brought the baby into the house and the dog was not happy about the baby being there. 'I was like 'how are we going to do this?'. 'They need to be able to co-exist. 'It was incredibly stressful because you are hard-wired as a mother to protect this baby at all costs, however the dog is my other baby. 'We were in a pit of despair and really didn't know how we were going to get through this. 'I watched some many episodes of Cesar's TV show and I thought 'I need to get to Cesar Millan'. I messaged him and he responded.' After attending sessions with the expert at his ranch in California where she was taught leadership and calmness techniques, Ms Gillan said the dog's relationship with her baby had been transformed. Speaking to Mr Millan on his YouTube series Walking With Cesar, she added: 'She is so good with the baby now, it's amazing. She is so protective over the baby but I think in a healthy way. 'I don't know if I should be allowing her to lick the baby's face but I lick her for a minute and then I stop her. 'I am so grateful that you let us come to the ranch with the baby and the dog and everything is okay now. 'It was really scary because I was nervous that we would not get to this point and we would constantly be living in fear but now we trust her. 'We felt more calm and confident after our time here.' The flame-haired Highland actress shot to fame when she landed the part of Doctor Who's assistant Amy Pond in 2010 after dropping out of drama school. After appearing in three series of the long-running sci-fi hit she left in 2013 and moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in Hollywood. She is now one of the most-sought after names in the film industry after starring in hit movies like Avengers: Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji. In 2022 the actress married Mr Kocher at Castle Toward, near Dunoon, Argyll.

29 Hilarious Internet Fails From Last Week
As if Mondays weren't bad enough on their own, it's also approximately 3000 degrees outside! Is it too much to ask for Mondays to cease to exist during the summer, at least? Don't worry, gang, I'm taking an X-acto knife to the wall calendar as we speak. While we attempt to survive a Monday on the surface of the sun, we've at least got these 29 hilarious fails from last week to get us through: Is this a message from a ghost? If you're going to steal, steal a shrimp. Okay, this is starting to get a little personal. These energy drinks are really improving my mood. Is that a tomato in your hand, or are you just happy to see me? I take it back, there are some worries after all. A portrait of the artist as a young man. At least give me a courtesy laugh. It's snack time, I guess. I don't think the Dog Whisperer would approve. So, you're kind of just... swapping squirrels, then, yes? How do you say "language settings" in Russian? They don't like honesty in this office. It's too early for this. Sometimes, karma works instantly. And this is why the house isn't vacuumed. It's the same inbox! Cheddar is part of the basic food pyramid, right? At least you were honest. "No, no, I'm fine. Let's move on..." You can just say, "Hi," Dad! I'm feeling a little prophetic, and I don't think this is going to go well. There's a summer Grinch!? Is he stealing beach towels? Sorry, to bother you, Bug. This kid has a future in pranks. Babe, ya gotta proofread those signs. I wonder why that is. What did you do to deserve this, though? And finally, at least tell me the password isn't on a Post-It. If you enjoyed these laughs, go follow the creators! And for more fails, check out our most recent posts:

Female founders drive Australia's small business growth, new GoDaddy data shows ahead of International Women's Day
Ahead of International Women's Day (8th March 2025), GoDaddy has revealed new data which highlights the impact of female founders on Australia's small business economy Over two fifths (44%) of small businesses with 0-9 employees in Australia are run by women, and over one in four female founders are the primary income earner for their household Female entrepreneurs are also at the forefront of AI adoption, with nearly half (48%) agreeing that the technology will help them compete with larger companies in the next year SYDNEY, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of International Women's Day 2025 (8th March), GoDaddy has released new data to highlight the impact of female founders on Australia's small business economy. Figures from Venture Forward - GoDaddy's research initiative which analyses over 300,000 Australian small businesses with 0-9 employees - show that 44% are run by women, and 57% of these female-led businesses were started in the last five years. Despite mixed emotions on the current Australian economy, with only 27% of female founders expressing optimism, they are more bullish about their own business' prospects. Seven in ten (69%) are optimistic about their companies' growth and success over the next six months, and 35% plan to hire new staff in the next year. Australian women entrepreneurs are making their mark right now, with over one in four women (27%) the primary income earner for their household. Over one third (37%) say their small business turns over more than $5,000 in an average month. What's more, around three fifths (56%) say becoming a small business owner has enhanced their quality of life, offering a sense of fulfilment and empowerment with the opportunity to pursue their passion. Female founders are at the forefront of the AI revolution, with almost half (48%) agreeing that the technology will help them compete with larger, better-resourced companies in the next year. Many are already using AI tools to free up time and streamline their business operations. For example, Australian women are using AI for tasks such as writing content (75%), summarising information or text (62%), and generating recommendations or strategies for their marketing or operations (45%). Miki Kanamaru, founder of dog training small business Pawsitive Mindset, says about her entrepreneurship journey: "After Covid, when so many people bought or adopted puppies and dogs, there was an increase in demand for training and coaching. So I combined my passion for getting the best out of animals and my background in psychology to create a business dedicated to improving dog behaviour. "My GoDaddy website has been a huge part of growing my business, it's essential. It has been my shop window and is where customers can find out about me, what services I offer and my experience. I've taken on many new customers, and people I haven't even met call me The Dog Whisperer, so I know I've made it! "Being a female founder undoubtedly comes with challenges. One in particular I had to overcome was people assuming I couldn't handle bigger or aggressive dogs. To any aspiring female entrepreneur out there, I'd say chase your dreams. It's so worth it." Suzanne Mitchell, GoDaddy Australia market lead, said: "The theme for International Women's Day 2025 is Accelerate Action. By shining a light on the successes of Australia's female founders, that's exactly what we hope to achieve. These women are contributing to local economies, creating jobs and supporting families. "The most exciting thing is that it's never been easier for aspiring female entrepreneurs to follow in their footsteps. With advancements in digital technology and new AI-powered solutions such as GoDaddy Airo® being able to help with everything from domain names to designing a logo and creating social media content, the barriers-to-entry to start and run a digital business are lower than ever before."
