Six year Ninja is probably the best known proponent of "barkour" (parkour for dogs) in the world. Owner and handler Dominik Arend used to teach parkour to children in his native Germany, but Ninja and he now work professionally together.

Parkour, also known as free-running or l'art du déplacement (art of movement) originated in France and is a discipline, which demands both athleticism and artistic expression. The urban environment is viewed as an obstacle course to be engaged with in one’s own individual, often gymnastic style.

Dominik is eloquent and fascinating on the activity that has turned into a career for them both and how their relationship has developed over their shared working life, which clearly suits them. 

Barkour's popularity is such, that Ninja and Dominik have almost half a million followers on Instagram and recently found themselves performing at Goodwoof, on the Goodwood Estate in Sussex. Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather caught up with them both backstage.

Thanks to Dominik for taking time to chat (@parkour.ninja on Instagram).

Thanks to Noni Needs (@nonineedsmedia on Instagram) for the photo.

Do you work your dog or dogs? 

If you know a dog with an interesting job, Kate would love to hear from you!  Email team@shineradio.uk or katefairweather5@gmail.com.

Astronomical twilight overlaps in the Petersphere this time of year so there's no true night and with the Summer Solstice taking place on June 20th we will bask in more than sixteen and a half hours of daylight!

We find out about the 13th sign of zodiac in this month's Sky Watch and how to view noctilucent clouds too.

With the sun currently nearing the height of its 11-year activity cycle we're far enough north to get the auroras when the solar activity is high.  This year we could be getting noctilucent clouds and auroras at once!

Thakeham Homes proposes 54 new homes on allocated land off The Causeway in Petersfield.

But some local residents feel their concerns about the proposed development are not being heard.

People who live close to the site are worried about flooding and how new traffic calming measures along The Causeway could add congestion and affect safety.

Their district councillor John Hutchinson has taken-up their cause.

He and seven local residents spoke to Shine Radio's Stephen Martin to explain why they believe their knowledge of the community is not being sufficiently acknowledged by the developer.

We also hear from Thakeham Homes director Tristan Robinson who responds to the residents' points and answers their questions.
