Howdy doody Bookshelvers! We're back! And we're back with a blast! This weeks guest is none other than the amazing Grisha Stewart. We've been wanting to waffle about dogs, behaviour, humanity and music for a long time and, cor blimey, guv'nor, we are glad we finally got to hang out. This one is for anyone that is just as interested in the human end of the long line as the canine ;). Grisha will be opening this years DOGx Conference with her only conference appearance of 2023 so grab a ticket and be sure not to miss it.

In other news Steve talks through his in-depth observations of forced human behaviour, in a local wild flower meadow, and Nat treats us all to her (if we do say ourselves) impeccable singing voice... You're welcome.
