#07 Jane Ardern - Mission Control

BLIMEY BOOKSHELVERS!

It's a Social Distancing special this time around on BFTBS! So distant we thought we'd try interview someone in Manchester!

Jane Ardern's new book Mission Control is a must for anyone who is interested in training "high drive" breeds or simply any dog geeks out there. The whole book is crammed full of fabulous explanations of emotional states and in-depth step by step exercises to engage and bond build and allow you to unlock that special team work you have always wanted.

As a caveat Nat and I had only read a wee bit of Jane's book when we spoke to her (using the Pandemic as a very reasonable excuse) but since then I have finished it and even implemented some of it into my online classes. It is very good and VERY practical. An all round BFTBS MUST HAVE!!!

We travel slightly "off piste" in the main body of the show as we decide to focus on some Corona specific difficulties we may all be having during the intro. As we are all not in the same room the audio is a wee bit under par so apologies for that ;)

Jane Ardern Bio

Jane Ardern BSc (Hons) Dip.CABT is a leading dog trainer and behaviourist in the UK, who specialises in issues concerning working and performance dogs. Recognised as a hands-on realist, Jane combines an academic background with extensive practical experience as an ‘in the trenches’ trainer. In 2016 she was Kennel
Club Dog Trainer of the Year.

In 2012 Jane graduated with an honours degree in canine behaviour and training from Hull University, achieving the highest grade ever given in the advanced instructing module. She was invited to return to the university to teach on the foundation degree course, and went on to study for a level 3 award in education and training. She was also given recognised teacher status up to level 6 in canine related subjects. Jane has lectured for COAPE, the internationally course provider for animal behaviourists.

Jane owns WaggaWuffins Canine College, which provides puppy, pet dog training and a practical instructor training programme. She provides online support through a membership community for other enthusiasts and professionals and is the creator of Smart Pup, a puppy training subscription box. Jane is a member of the Professional Speaking Association (PSA) and has spoken at seminars and events all over the UK.

Jane says she has learned the most when knee-deep in mud in a wood full a pheasants, rabbit and deer, applying the classroom theory to the real world. Her mission is to help people who are looking for a positive and ethical solution to problems around excitement, arousal, drive and predatory behaviour.
