Well, well, well Bookshelvers you find us a fizzy as a feisty Foxhound as we set about round two of speaking with the brilliant Simone Mueller. As well as a wee bit of spoilers about Simone’s upcoming talk at DOGx2024 we spend the majority of our conversation talking about, one of, the most searched dog training topics online… Loose Lead Walking. Why is it so bloomin’ hard to train? What is happening to cause the pulling? Thoughts on equipment, management strategies, outlets and training games and strategies to succeed. If you haven’t got a copy of Simone's book “Walking Together” it is a much needed and worthy book to have on those shelves.
There's also a not to be missed (ahem) section where Nat, Corrin and Steve reminisce about the school days and words they used to think were cool. We also have a brand new Stevie song for you called “What Comes Natural Mate”, inspired by Simone's PST training books. All this absolutely free!? YES PLEASE!
