S5E11 The Same Seat

Ever tried bridging the gap between London and Scotland? Spoiler: the language barrier is real — but so is the love for dogs, training, and people. ❤️
We dive deep into:
✨ The real difference between qualifications and certifications
✨ Training dog owners, gundog trainers, and canine pros
✨ Why it’s all about building a family—your tribe of people and pups
✨ How every dog (and human) teaches us something new
✨ Breaking the rules to find what really works
Plus, a minor water spill that somehow becomes the highlight... because that’s just how Lez rolls 😂

Lez and Ross have both been in the industry professionally for well over 20 years and each has been involved with dogs for over 40 years.

Whilst sensibly they have stayed away from the ‘limelight’ regarding TV offers, they have regularly been on national and local radio, spoken at national events at NDWA, CFBA, and Kennel Club / Crufts events as well as bespoke speaking engagements for the Dog Safety Education Executive (DogSEE).

Ross wrote for Dogs Monthly Magazine for over 12 years and Lez was the first lady feature writer for a national Shooting Magazine (both Sporting Gun and Sporting Shooter).

They were also 'study buddies' and were the first in the UK to achieve a Masters Degree (Professional Practice) in Canine Behaviour and Psychology in 2011.

They work well together and apart, support and work with dog rescue organisations and train professional dog trainers and behaviourists.

Different as chalk and cheese, but maybe not as different as they like to think.
