My new podcast episode is live!

There is a lot of controversy still around which is the right way to play with your dog and even more when it comes to Border Collies!
I wanted to do a podcast episode to explain why I play and teach play the way I do that will be followed by a YouTube video too.

This podcast episode is also a great way to announce a very exciting collaboration! I have teamed up with Tug-E-Nuff to bring to my podcast listeners a bundle of my favourite toys! In the episode I explain why I choose these specific toys and how I use them!

Let me know in the comments how you play with your Border Collie and if you have any more questions about it don’t hesitate to ask!
