This is an often overlooked part of the whole behaviour picture and we think you'll find our talk really eye opening. As well as all the the dog geek outs you'd expect we also talk a whole lot about cheesecakes1, how Steve once had crabs (no not like that) and why Corrin and Nat are now required by podcast law to be present on the intros.

Gemma Facts Gemma has lived a life with dogs of various breeds growing up in a house full of show dogs, but initially studied at Hartpury College for a career with horses going on to work at show jumping and event yards along with hydrotherapy centres. In the early 2000’s she started growing an interest in how pain affects movement & behaviour after one of her own horses developed gastric ulcers, this then became an obsession when returning to her love of dogs and attending dog classes could see dogs from an early age already experiencing difficulties. Wanting to expand on her observational skills she trained with Sarah Fisher doing TTouch & ACE, before deepening her knowledge of canine anatomy, physiology & movement alongside massage and rehabilitation with ICAT & the OCN in London & is a qualified behaviour practitioner with the ISCP. Gemma combines her passion for canine behaviour and movement to help dog guardians get to the bottom of their dog’s problematic behaviours using gait & posture analysis to shine a light on potential issues, she is often called in by other canine professionals to work with their clients for additional support and advice. More recently Gemma has launched her Dynamic Dog Practitioner Programme where she teaches other dog trainers and behaviourist to spot the signs of discomfort in dogs that are linked to behaviour problems, and has been ask to be a Canine Arthritis Management Advisor by the founder of CAM, Hannah Capon.

It is time to sing like a Samoyed and chuckle like a Chihuahua as it's Off The Shelf time again!Back just in time for a drastic weather change in the UK Corrin, Nat & Steve get to catch up with their old buddy and all round 'top dude' Jordan Shelley! Jordan is a Dog trainer and behaviour specialist - Animal welfare campaigner - Presenter, producer and writer as well as all that great stuff we all used to chew the proverbials on the "Barking Mad Show" back in the day so it was lovely to catch up and see what Jordan has been up to in his, always interesting, life.It turns out that amongst other things Jordan has set up a very important petition to Ban the importation of dogs with cropped ears (a worthy cause indeed). In Jordans words: "There appears to be an alarming rise in dogs imported after undergoing the inhumane procedure of having their ears mutilated, fulfilling the desire for a certain ‘look’ & encouraging a procedure outlawed in England since 1899. It’s time to close this 121-year-old legal loophole".This is a very important cause and we would love if all you Bookshelvers in the UK could sign the petition.Link to the Petition to Ban The Importation Of Dogs With Cropped Earshttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/333456?fbclid=IwAR2ynjv1l2yOHa5BQPWl9cFakanVn93a5hWXTj7-NzzvRZt4zYl2U9MY4OcLink to Jordan Shelley's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jordanwshelleyLink to Steve & Corrins Goodall Dog Training Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/goodalldogs/Link to Nat's Training & Behaviour Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Natdogs/Link to Drax's Galactic Adventure Facebook page (Nat's rescued Irish Wolfhound)https://www.facebook.com/Draxthewolfhound/Link to Steve & Sallys Childrens book 'Jack & Billy Puppy Tales'https://www.facebook.com/JackandBillyPuppyTales/Link to Grant Sharkey's Spotify page (Grant's amazing song 'Grow' features each week as our outro tune.https://open.spotify.com/artist/13PaCwwgVR77TbJH6XAVHQ?si=EOQGmWdCRCiXdECNmJvNAQ

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. She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-dogs-go-heaven). Her website is http://jessicapierce.net. Her most recent book is Unleashing Your Dog: How to Give Your Canine Companion the Best Possible Life (with Marc Bekoff).Link to The Last Walk on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Walk-Reflections-Their-Lives/dp/0226668460/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+last+walk&qid=1595002777&sr=8-1 Link to Run, Spot, Run on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Run-Spot-Ethics-Keeping-Pets/dp/022620989X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TGBZ6UTT9RGO&dchild=1&keywords=run+spot+run&qid=1595002902&sprefix=run+spot%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1 Steve & Corrins Goodall Dog Training Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/goodalldogs/Nat's Training & Behaviour facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Natdogs/Nats Drax page including the first 6 months videos on Drax (as mentioned)https://www.natdogs.com/draxDrax's Galactic Adventure Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/Draxthewolfhound/Steve & Corrins Penny and the Giant Peach Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/TeachesOfPeachesAndPenny/Steve and Sally's Book 'Jack & Billy: Puppy Tales'https://www.facebook.com/JackandBillyPuppyTales

"Unleashing Your Dog" (co-authored by Jessica Pierce) & "Why Dogs Hump & Bees Get Depressed". But to be honest we chatted about everything under the sun including, Marc's friend, Jane Goodall, Veganism, dogs and guilt, teaching inmates in prison and much, MUCH more.Steve and Nat then dance through the podcast in their usual ballroom style. We also answer some blooming fantastic listener questions again. As extras this week we can here all about Nats latest injury (yes another one), who Steve has been named after, Steve's criminal past, Nats bookshelf fail and Nat officially say she will look after Steve's dogs for 3 months while he goes on holiday (it's true the evidence is in here)!Get it in your lug holes BOOKSHELVERSMarc's BioMarc is professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

What is going down Bookshelvers?It’s time for another Off The Shelf episode and this week Steve,Nat and Corrin are joined by the amazing Helen Motteram. We have a deep chat about the journey Helen took starting back in 1998 with her dog Sally which was one of her inspirations to want to help people with their dogs. We also talk about Helens Bird rescue called ‘Russells Rescue’ and, of course, Russel himself (if you don’t know what we are on about you will love this). Helen runs Social Paws with her partner Tristan and they are based in Cheltnam.Helen also runs the fantastic Pet Professional Network (which we all happen to be a member of) If you have a pet business it is well worth a look. Helen describes it here in her own words. “PPN is the first business support organisation and membership for pet professionals who do not use any form of aversive methodology (pain or intimidation) to train, walk or care for any pet. From my own personal results working with thousands of pets and rescue dogs, I’ve seen first hand how training without force has given long term results – confident dogs and happy owners. We apply this philosophy to people, too; employing a strict anti-bullying policy to protect our members, which fosters a true sense of belonging in a safe and confidential environment”.All in all a fantastic human who tirelessly works with animals (inc us human animals) to make this world a better place :) Link for the Pet Professional Network Websitehttps://www.petpronetwork.com/Link to Helen & Tristan’s Social Paws Websitehttps://www.socialpawscheltenham.co.uk/about/Link to Russell’s Rescue Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/russellsrescue/Steve & Corrins Goodall Dog Training Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/goodalldogs/Nat's Training & Behaviour facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Natdogs/Nats Drax page including the first 6 months videos on Drax (as mentioned)https://www.natdogs.com/draxDrax's Galactic Adventure Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/Draxthewolfhound/Steve & Corrins Penny and the Giant Peach Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/TeachesOfPeachesAndPenny/Steve and Sally's Book 'Jack & Billy: Puppy Tales'https://www.facebook.com/JackandBillyPuppyTales/

Howdy Doody Bookshelvers!It's Episode 12 time. Melissa McCue-McGrath CPDT-KA is just amazing. We hit it off like a house on fire and we have all decided to move in together (ok that last part isn't true but we could!) Do your good selves a favour and find her on the interwebs and beyond you will not regret it. Her book "Considerations For The City Dog" opened our eyes to some unique challenges facing dogs living in our urban jungles. Written partly in response to a dog nearly killing a 6'4" man and his German shepherd in her home city. She consulted with veterinarians, rescue volunteers, behavior specialists, certified dog trainers, dog daycare providers, groomers and more to identify why urban dogs are failing, and what we need to do to help these dogs succeed.As a added bonus Steve & Nat try to 'one up' themselves in a wildlife spotting competition and Steve forgets what day it is! I mean come listen it's a no brainer right?!?!Melissa McCue-McGrath CPDT-KA BioMelissa McCue-McGrath, CPDT-KA is a certified professional dog trainer in greater Boston with over 10 years and 800 cases under her belt. She grew up in a dog-sledding family in rural Maine and now sits as the co-Training Director of New England Dog Training Club, the oldest AKC obedience club in the country. She advocates for urban canine sports and science-based training techniques to help dogs cope in the "new normal". Additionally, Melissa writes alongside one of her best friends, Dr. Sip Siperstein, for NPR's Car Talk FIDO Blog. She rather infrequently updates her MuttStuff blog and Muttstuff Facebook Page. As a result of this book, Melissa started #HandsOnFirst, a movement that encourages rescue groups and breeders to stop shipping dogs directly to potential dog owners sight-unseen. #HandsOnFirst explains what responsible rescues, shelters, fosters and reputable breeders actually look like, and educates people how to find a dog that will be best suited to their lifestyle and environment. She and her husband have a daughter named Aislyn. They currently live outside of Boston with their 2 cats, a fish and a snail. The McGraths are actively looking for their next family dog.Considerations For The City Dog on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FGN72BU/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_nqt1Eb1TK966HConsiderations For The City Dog Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/citydogbook/Melissa's Blog Muttstuffhttps://muttstuff.blogspot.com/?m=1Steve & Corrins Goodall Dog Training Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/goodalldogs/Nat's Training & Behaviour facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Natdogs/Nats Drax page including the first 6 months videos on Drax (as mentioned)https://www.natdogs.com/draxDrax's Galactic Adventure Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/Draxthewolfhound/Steve & Corrins Penny and the Giant Peach Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/TeachesOfPeachesAndPenny/Steve and Sally's Book 'Jack & Billy: Puppy Tales'https://www.facebook.com/JackandBillyPuppyTales/

Howdy Bookshelvers!In this episode of Barks From The Bookshelf Nat and Steve get to have a good ol' chin waggle with their good buddy Karen WildKaren is a force of nature in the Dog World (not to mention other furries). We focus on her awesome Book 'Being a Dog - the world from your dog's point of view'. First published in 2016 this is a truly fact filled book on the subject of what its like to be a dog. Written from the dogs point of view it is charming and a fabulous reference book which you'll end up returning to again and again!Nat and Steve then delve deep into some of the topics (and there are plenty to pick from) featured in 'Being a Dog'. Look out for the new segment called The Gregg Wallace Moment and also brace yourselves for when Steve decides to get "sciency" with hilarious results.Karen's bio from the Paw Print Pets Website Karen Wild: As part of my commitment to high standards, I am a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB), Animal Behaviour and Training Council Clinical Animal Behaviourist (ABTC-CAB) and a Full member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) and I am an ABTC (Animal Behaviour and Training Council) Registered Animal Training Instructor I am also a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS). I also qualified as a dog training Instructor (First grade, Honours) with the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers in the days before the APDT even existed and have kept my skills and knowledge up to date ever since attending regular training courses including a recent Certificate of Excellence from Dr Susan Friedman’s Living and Learning with Animals course. I write on dog behaviour and training for Dogs Today, Pet Product Marketing, PETS International, Dogs Monthly, Pet Gazette and Pet Focus. I have written three best-selling books on training and behaviour, published by Hamlyn, translated into several languages worldwide. I’m also a guest blog writer for Dr Ian Dunbar’s revolutionary website, Dog Star Daily. I also lecture on Behaviour practice, practical training and consultation for the Professional Diploma for Clinical Animal Behaviour at Central College for Animal Studies (CCOAS) and was guest instructor for Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, U.K. I speak regularly on this same subject in webinars and seminars, most recently in Dublin, Ireland and Shrewsbury, Shropshire and addressed the APBC Annual Conference in 2014. Over the years my work has ranged from class teaching, obedience, flyball, agility and working trials competition to running a popular dog display team. When I started my family I realised there was a genuine need for one-to-one help for family dogs; I formed Pawprint for behavioural consultations and training. My passion is to create and rebuild the ‘enjoyment factor’ that can come from owning your pet dog.
