<p>In this episode of Beastly Talks, we are still in recovery mode from a long and exhausting trip to Europe. But there is no rest for the wicked! Only a few days after landing we picked up Rex, a 7-month-old Border Collie who is in training to become an assistance dog. </p><p>I wanted to give a little breakdown of how board & trains work and how they can be helpful, what an assistance dog is and what tasks they're required to perform and so on. Keep in mind that I am not an expert on assistance dog training, so this is just a brief overview.</p><p>I also get stuck into how I train the different tasks and how I assess dogs in a B&T to work out where to focus most of my efforts for best results. </p><p>I apologise for a being a little all over the place in this one, it has been a hectic time! But I hope you enjoy it regardless. </p><p>Make sure to give us a 5 🌟 rating, follow the podcast for all the latest updates, share it with your friends and other dog lovers, and drop us a comment if you like what you hear or have questions for us!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Stian and Beautiful Beasts on social media:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/">https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/">https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p><strong>For personalised, expert help with your dog, contact us today:</strong></p><p><a href="www.beautifulbeasts.com.au">www.beautifulbeasts.com.au</a></p>

<p>This week's episode of Beastly Talks, did get a little bleak, as we tackle the topic of dogs in shelters. </p><p>Sky is a qualified dog trainer, working in a not for profit shelter in California. Despite her very young age, Sky is very knowledgable and open about the reality of life for many dogs in a shelter environment. The high levels of ongoing stress can lead to anything from increased aggression, anxiety all the way up to self mutilation in some cases. </p><p>We discuss everything from LIMA, to play groups, behaviour modification in a complicated setting, tool use and even behavioural euthanasia. It's a tough conversation, but it is also an important one, so we can try to find ways to improve welfare for dogs, who find themselves in a tough spot. </p><p>We hope you enjoy this conversation, despite it's not so bright topic. </p><p>Make sure to give us a 5 🌟 rating, follow the podcast for all the latest updates, share it with your friends and other dog lovers, and drop us a comment if you like what you hear or have questions for us!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Stian and Beautiful Beasts on social media:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/">https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/">https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p><strong>For personalised, expert help with your dog, contact us today:</strong></p><p><a href="www.beautifulbeasts.com.au">www.beautifulbeasts.com.au</a></p>

<p>In this episode of Beastly Talks, prepare yourself for some big laughs and great knowledge bombs, as we sit down with Ross Macnamara from Mac Dog Training in Scotland!</p><p>Like myself, Ross focuses a lot on rehabilitating reactivity, with a particular focus on play based training. But he also works a lot on building confidence in puppies, the importance of structure and sleep, and preventing what he calls "the iPad Dog." (Likimats not welcome here!)</p><p>Our chat went from having a laugh on social media, to tool bans, back to dogs and play, and pretty much everywhere in between, and we hope you have as much fun as we did!</p><p>Make sure to give us a 5 🌟 rating, follow the podcast for all the latest updates, share it with your friends and other dog lovers, and drop us a comment if you like what you hear or have questions for us!</p><p><strong>Check out Ross and Mac Dog Training on social media:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/macdogtraining/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/macdogtraining/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MACdogtraining/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/MACdogtraining/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.macdogtraining.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.macdogtraining.co.uk/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Follow Stian and Beautiful Beasts on social media:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/</a></p><p><strong>For personalised, expert help with your dog, contact us today:</strong></p><p><a href="www.beautifulbeasts.com.au" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.beautifulbeasts.com.au</a></p>
