This month, Dogs with Jobs follows young guide dog Benji over five weeks as he starts “on the job” training with owner John Welsman.
From their first encounter in June, through two weeks of residential training at a Southampton hotel, instructor-supported training around their home town Petersfield and navigating their way to London via public transport.
After an intense five weeks, Benjy and John are ready to strike out on their own.
Kate Fairweather hears about the highs and lows on this month’s Dogs with Jobs.
Next episode we’ll be meeting Drake, a champion gun dog.
Do you work your dog?
If you work your dog or dogs, or know someone who does, why not get in touch with Kate at team@shineradio.uk?
There’s no such thing as a dull working dog and she’d love to hear from you.
Hi Kate,
Just finished listening to you and John Weisman and his Benji. It really was a superb program. Congratulations.
