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.
