#52 Andrew Hale - Dog Centred, Dog-centric and Dog Gone Good Guy
Barks from the Bookshelf
02/14/24 • 115 min
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.

What's going down Bookshelvers?
We hope to find you well in this bizarre time we are all stuck in. What can we say about this episode? Firstly Jessica Pierce is such a wonderful person and we loved the time we spent talking to her about her two amazing books. We genuinely think that "The Last Walk" is a masterpiece and something that everyone, when ready, should read and "Run, Spot, Run" is a real eye opener. Secondly there are some deep and potentially upsetting topics covered. It's not easy talking about the inevitable day our Pets leave us but it is important. We (of course) try to keep it as light hearted as possible but we are sure you understand that some of the anecdotes and topics can cut deeply :) Enough waffle from us.... Please do let us know what you think.
Jessica Pierce is a bioethicist and faculty affiliate at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. She is the author of eleven books, including The Last Walk: Reflections on Our Pets at the Ends of Their Lives and Run, Spot, Run: The Ethics of Keeping Pets, and has published essays in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Guardian.

#38 Karen B. London PhD - Treat Everyone Like a Dog: How a Dog Trainers World View Can Improve Your Life
Barks from the Bookshelf
04/25/21 • 163 min
DAGNABBIT (Or should we say DOGNABBIT) BOOKSHELVERS!
Back with ANOTHER stonkingly canine-tastic mind tickler of an episode for you! Just in time to cure those Monday blues...
This week Steve & Nat are joined by the wonderful Karen London to talk all about her fabulous book Treat Everyone Like a Dog. As you can expect there is a whole load of topics and techniques to unpack on our journey to become better at employing the tactics we use with dogs upon our fellow humans. That being said though we should be the blooming experts right? Lets find out.
Karen Facts
Karen B. London, Ph.D. is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and Certified
Professional Dog Trainer who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of serious
behavior problems in domestic dogs. She began working with dogs in 1997, and has
spent years working with clients in one-on-one consultations in addition to teaching
group training classes, and giving seminars about canine ethology for trainers,
veterinary and shelter staff, and the public.
After graduation, Karen decided to switch to working with dogs. It was a natural
outcome of her love for dogs in her personal life, and her scientific interest in species
interactions and aggressive behavior in her professional life. She has enjoyed the
change to becoming a dog behaviorist and trainer as dogs are easier to work with and
less aggressive than the wasps she knows and loves.
Karen is an award-winning author of six books on dog training and behavior, five of
them co-authored with her mentor, Patricia B. McConnell, PhD. She blogs for
TheBark.com and also writes the animal column, The London Zoo, for the Arizona Daily
Sun. Her most recent book is Treat Everyone Like a Dog: How a Dog Trainer’s World
View Can Improve Your Life.
Karen lives in Flagstaff, Arizona with her husband and their two sons. She is an Adjunct
Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University,
where she teaches tropical field courses in Nicaragua and Costa Rica called “Tropical
Forest Ecology and Conservation” and a class for freshman about the importance of
insects to society called “Sex, Bugs, and Rock N' Roll.

OH MY DAYS BOOKSHELVERS!
Never meet your heroes they say... well Barks from the Bookshelf say a big BOO to that.
This episode features the one and only Jean Donaldson. Jean doesn't really require an introduction. She is a burning light in the Dog Training Community. It was our absolute honour to talk with Jean and we really hope you all enjoy it.
Jean's Bio
Jean is one of the top dog trainers in the world and has lectured extensively in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Before transitioning full-time to pet dog training, Jean competed in dog sports with dogs of various breeds, earning numerous titles and wins including OTCh, HIT, TDX, and FDCh, as well as a CGC. She ran a successful training school for fifteen years, and spent six years doing primarily referral aggression cases. She holds a degree in comparative psychology and is a keen student of evolutionary biology.
We recorded this podcast a few weeks ago before the real Covid 19 horror show hit. We sincerely hope everyone is coping out there and doing all they can to keep themselves, their loved ones and the entire planet safe. We hope this goes some way to making these uncertain time a tiny bit easier.
Love to you all.
