008 – Tool bans and Government Misrepresentation – Huon Valley K9

from Beastly Talks · host Beautiful Beasts Dog Training

In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Ben Barnes from Huon Valley K9 in Tasmania! From working with military dogs, to now focusing on helping pet dogs, Ben has an extensive and varied career behind him. Ben has been instrumental in fighting the proposed ban on electronic collars in Tasmania and he reveals some “shocking” things he learned about both the government and the anti-tool groups along the way, which can only really be put down to extensive gaslighting, hidden behind so called “scientific based dog training.” Follow Ben and Huon Valley K9:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/huonvalleyk9/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/huonvalleyk9/https://huonvalleyk9.com.au/Follow Beautiful Beasts and the Viking Dog Trainer:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vikingdogtrainer/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vikingdogtrainer/www.beautifulbeasts.com.auAs always, if you like the podcast, support it by subscribing, sharing and commenting!
