#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 BioJane Ardern BSc (Hons) Dip.CABT is a leading dog trainer and behaviourist in the UK, who specialises in issues concerning working and performance dogs.
