In this episode of Beastly Talks, we are still in recovery mode from a long and exhausting trip to Europe. But there is no rest for the wicked! Only a few days after landing we picked up Rex, a 7-month-old Border Collie who is in training to become an assistance dog.

I wanted to give a little breakdown of how board & trains work and how they can be helpful, what an assistance dog is and what tasks they're required to perform and so on. Keep in mind that I am not an expert on assistance dog training, so this is just a brief overview.

I also get stuck into how I train the different tasks and how I assess dogs in a B&T to work out where to focus most of my efforts for best results.

I apologise for a being a little all over the place in this one, it has been a hectic time! But I hope you enjoy it regardless.
