This week on DogTorque, we catch up with Thomas Woolford a stockman, handler, and all-round good bloke who’s built a name for himself through hard work, good dogs, and a love for the land.

Thomas shares how he first got into working dogs, the lessons that shaped his training style, and why he changed up his life. It’s a yarn about backing yourself, learning from every run, and staying true to your dogs.

Emelia Stokehill, Brooke Barton, and Billie Bourke are three great mates carving out their place in agriculture and working dogs. From long days on the land to weekends at trials, they share their stories of getting started, the lessons learned along the way, and what keeps them turning up in an industry that isn’t always easy.

It’s an honest, down-to-earth chat about mateship, persistence, and passion for both farming and dogs.
