Pup Talk The Podcast Niki French: award winning dog trainer

Join me talking to Tom Candy, Senior Training and Behaviour Advisor at the UK's largest dog training and welfare organisation.
In part 1, we talk about working with shelter dogs and Tom's job upskilling and supporting training and behaviour teams across the SW of England.
 
We also talk about the impact of the pandemic on rescues centres, lockdown puppies and what's been happening since. He also gives us some insights into what it's like for the staff and volunteers, as well as dogs in the rescue system.

Are you confused as to why your dog runs and hides when you grab their harness or lead? They seem to enjoy their walks when they’re out! It can all be very confusing.
 
In this episode, I talk about what might be happening and what you can do to help.

I might work with dogs all day, but it doesn't mean I always get it right. Especially when it comes to my own dog.
I'm sharing this story to encourage you to think more about why your dog might be doing something, before you think:
"How can I get them to stop doing that?" Or "How can I get them to do that?"

Nikki Venditto isn't a dog professional, but she is not your average dog mum. Fluffage Towers is the home of 3 Miniature Schnauzers.
In this episode we move on to talking about the power of listening to what our dogs are telling us. This included sometimes not wanting to go for a walk.
We also talk about the fun of free shaping. Plus Nikki's bedtime pumpkin flapjack recipe. I have tried them myself and they're delicious, as well as being great for settling a dog's tummy.

There is so much more to canine enrichment than a lick mat or a Kong and some peanut butter.
 
Ahead of #dontwalkyourdogday (April 2nd), I'm chatting to Melissa founder of Paws In Earnest - a self confessed total canine enrichment addict.
 
We talk about 4 different types of enrichment and give examples of ideas for physical, sensory, social and occupational enrichment.
