Rosie is near Dunbeath in Caithness to join a legend of the gundog training world and discover how pointers work an area or moorland to find game birds.

And Arlene is heading up Ben A鈥檃n in the Trossachs with a pair of dogs making a name for themselves on social media with their hill-walking adventures.
