Good Podcasts!

Hello!

The today's topic is: PODCASTS  ON ITUNES
I have to admit that at the moment I'm totaly addicted to English Podcasts.
They are such a big help to improve your English!

I will list you the podcasts I'm listening to at the moment:
  • World Book Club (BBC) -> British English
    A monthly podcasts, where famous authors are getting interviewed and they read something of their newst books out too! Really intersting!
  • The Truth ->American English
    This podcast is released every fortnight, in this podcast there is always a different person, who speaks about funny stuff which had happened to him or her. They are really well made!!
  • This American Life (Chicago Public Media)->American English
    Weekly podcast, which speaks about short fiction pieces or some other funny stuff like psychopath test, which the moderators do and look who of them is most psychopathic.
    Not my favourite but anyway good.
  • The 2nd Republic (RTÈ)-> British English (Irish accent)
    Weekly Podcast. It is actually a comical debat about creating a "NEW IRELAND".I had to laugh out lout the whole time!
  • Q (CBC)->American English (Canadian accent)

Do you know kikopup?


Hello my dear,



today I will tell you something about one of the most incredible dogtrainers of the world!
Her name is Emily Larlham aka kikopup.

She is a very powerful woman, around the 30 years, coming from San Diego (California) USA.
But recently she lives in Sweden, to be near her partner Martina. They're going to merry soon!!
Well, I've watched her videos since three years, and they helped me a lot to get a better bonding with my dog.

Her method is called "Progressive Reinforcement Training"and you can read her manifesto here.

She doesn't use any form of punishment or physical or psychological intimidation.
Her method is just built on trust between owner and dog.
I think the way she workes with dogs is awsome, and is not based on earning money, but on love.

In April I finally was on one of her semiars. It was located in Venice the 21st-22nd of April.
And what shall I say? I was just impressed of her entusiasm, she answered every question and made the seminar even longer to answer each's questions.

She spoke the whole day long and everyone had just the desire to jump up and start training.
The depatments she's really good in are: trickdogging, dogdancing and just the basics as loose leash walking, stay, barking problems, ect.

I think she is really interessting in everything, she tries to understand everyone and she wants to know everything for example about how the dog's brain works or which muscles there are in the dog's body and how do you can train them and all stuff like that.

So, if you want to show some love to her AND YOUR DOG!

Visit her videos on youtube! I think you will love them!

Sincerely,
your Busybee
