#52 Andrew Hale - Dog Centred, Dog-centric and Dog Gone Good Guy

Well slobber us up like a St. Bernard's dinner Bookshelvers!

Another returning guest this week at Barks from Headquarters! Corrin and Steve are joined by the amazing Andrew Hale to talk through LOADS and LOADS of great stuff.

We delve into the Crufts conundrum, helpful tips on coaching guardians, how to care for yourself in the sector and how we can apply a 'dog-centric' approach to training with a firm eyeball on the individual experience (of all the beings involved).

Big topics indeed (with a little Dolly Parton and road rage stories thrown in for good measure). On top of all that we hear how primal screaming therapy helped Corrin and Steve overcome the Tuesday jitters and try to come to the bottom of why Corrin can't stop saying Howdy doody!?!?!

We love chatting to Andrew and hope you Bookshelvers will feel as refreshed and invigorated as us after listening.
