We’re joined by Author and Photographer, Paul Koudounaris, who has previously been on the show talking about Pet Cemeteries in his book Faithful unto Death. Today we’re chatting about railroad dogs and his latest book called Go West Young Dog. As a really fascinating read, the book uncovers a somewhat hidden pocket of canine history about some brave, vagabond  dogs that became famous by traveling - alone-  on the world's first rail networks. Paul concentrates on the American dogs, not that there weren’t ‘railroad’ dogs in other continents.  Many of these dogs gained ‘celebrity’ status - their stories are  funny, heartwarming, triumphant, and tragic, or all at the same time. As Paul says: 'I believe that within those stories, these dogs have some lessons to teach us.' Buy the book here or contact Paul direct on [email protected] 20% off your first purchase by using the promo code AnnaWebb20 when you check out at Naturaw.co.ukThis episode is powered by Antinol.

We’re joined by Actor, Activist and Broadcaster, Peter Egan, who is talking about why he is campaigning and raising awareness for the seven million hens in the UK are kept in so-called “enriched cages”, where each bird has space roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper, preventing them from fully stretching their wings, foraging or dust bathing. Campaigners say the UK is falling behind several European countries on animal welfare, with Austria banning enriched cages in 2020, France banning new cage systems in 2018 and Germany now fully cage-free. Peter also chats about his work as a huge advocate for dogs, not least in being a Patron for the charity that Anna is an Ambassador for - All Dogs Matter!Follow Peter on InstagramGet 20% off your first purchase by using the promo code AnnaWebb20 when you check out at Naturaw.co.ukThis episode is powered by Antinol.

Designed and made in the UK by the family run business, we chat about these toys are practical and great for all dogs. Helping owners to engage, have fun, and get the best out of the dog, simply by giving them great games of chase, tug, retrieve, searching and much more. They’re designed for pet parents to tap into their dogs natural instincts through ‘proactive playtime’.  Adding enrichment to your dog’s day comes in many shapes and sizes. And depends on your dog’s individual personality, but dogs and dogs, and igniting their inner dog, will help you bond, and have fun both ways.  Plus working both their mental and physical dexterity is so important, especially in senior pooches to help create focus and keep them on the ball.

With Crufts just three days away, we’re so excited to be chatting to Naturaw’s Founder, Jess Warneken, on the company’s sponsorship of the Flyball team, Junkyard Dogs. Competing at this year’s most prestigious global canine event, we’re also joined by the team captain, Cheryl Quinn, who discusses why the pressure is on! She explains the training involved - and that’s not just for the dogs - and why it’s such a community driven sport and highly competitive. Teaching the dogs to remain focused, takes time and commitment with weekly training sessions.  Cheryl believes any dog can enjoy Flyball, but at a high competition level, the dogs are chosen for their commitment to their team spirit, and for their individual skills. Some have more speed to gain time, whilst others have others combine speed with accuracy that’s needed to prevent any faults. Every Flyball team must incorporate at least one pure bred dog , which in Junkyard’s case is a Border Collie, others can be any cross breed, with Lurchers being firm favourites.Naturaw is thrilled to support Junkyard Dogs! As the sport requires dogs to be in peak condition to win with speed and precision, the  team is fed Naturaw for this reason. Helping to fuel them for optimum health from the inside out.No matter what,  it’s about having fun, the dogs have been acclimatised to the atmosphere , the roar of the crowds and the many distractions - sights , sounds and smells  that can overwhelm many dogs. As always everyone at Crufts no mater what takes their best dog home!Follow Junkyard Dogs on Instagram @jydflyballGet 20% off your first purchase by using the promo code AnnaWebb20 when you check out at Naturaw.co.ukThis episode is powered by Antinol.
