Episode 2 - Interview with Elsa Blomster and Lena Gunnarsson

In this episode, I interview Swedish force-free gundog trainers Elsa Blomster and Lena Gunnarsson. They are the authors of the book 'Retrieving for All Occasions' - which is available from their website retrievingforalloccasions.com They also offer online gundog training courses, which we discuss in the podcast. Their organisation is called Klickerförlaget Göteborg AB. Which I cannot pronounce. But I can write it(!).
