Whats up Bookshelvers!?

We are back! We hope you are all keeping yourselves healthy and safe across the globe. We have another fantastic long form ramble chat for the second episode of our 'Off The Shelf' series. Today Natalie, Corrin and Steve get to chin wag with the simply amazing Hannah Sadgrove and Lewis Nicholls.

Together they run the fabulous Thinkdog dog training and behaviour business in Auckland, New Zealand where they not only train dogs they also run a successful mentoring programme for aspiring trainers. As well as that they also run the 'Ignore My Dog' clothing brand which strives to get an important message across to the non 'dog savvy' public in great way. They have 3 dogs Tauri, Poodle (Forrest) and, thier brand new addition, Adira. Adira is both blind and deaf so we have a chat about the unique difficulties and ingenious training techniques they are using to help her become a family member.

We bloomin' love these guys and they both have brilliant Facebook pages which are well worth a look.
