The Evolution of Dog Training author Shannon Riley-Coyner

Shannon Riley-Coyner has always loved dogs, and she instinctively found ways to be kind to her dogs, even when the advice around her was otherwise. What she has learned, she has now shared in her book, The Evolution of Dog Training.

Shannon and Julie discuss the changes in the dog training world during the last few years. Why is force free the best choice? Why are the changes taking a while to filter through? What's the best way to address the issue with those who haven't yet caught up?

Find out more about Shannon at her Truly Force Free website.

I am always learning, and my dogs are always learning; we're learning together.

Oggi's world founder Tracey Voss

Tracey Voss loves big dogs, and has big a passion for animal welfare and making our companion animals as happy and healthy as possible. She worked for The Blue Cross charity engaging with children, and has continued to do that via Oggi’s world and the character of Oggi, their mascot.

Tracey wanted to create a bake your own dog snack mix to raise owners' (of all ages) awareness of canine nutrition and portions size. She also aims to educate and inform owners about their dog's needs.

Many of us have cats as well as dogs, and during lockdown, Tracey came up with a revolutionary and environmentally friendly cat litter! Huskaloo is made from coconut husk – smaller and lighter and environmentally friendly! Hypoallergenic no dust softer for cat feet much better for cat and human respiration system!

Find out more at Oggi's World and Huskaloo.

I wanted to create a bake at home dog treat mix for several reasons, to overcome obesity issues which are driven not by what you put in the main meal, it's driven by extras.
