Dogs with JobsMeet the frontline workers of the canine world. Author: Petersfield's Shine Radio
Celebrate the frontline workers of the canine world. Kate Fairweather comes face to face with a diverse cast of working dogs, perfectly equipped with the instincts, intelligence and training to handle everything their jobs throw at them. Humans and dogs have worked together for centuries - and still do today in our communities. Some work with handlers, drawing on their natural hunting, herding, or guarding instincts, or an exceptional sense of smell. Others perform caring roles, providing companionship and support to humans. Podcast of the Year at the Community Radio Awards 2022. Produced by volunteers at Petersfield's Shine Radio.

Marble and the Odyssey Flyball Club team perform at Goodwoof
Tuesday, 18 June, 2024
The display from the Odyssey Flyball Club proved one of the delights of the Goodwoof arena at the Goodwood Estate in Sussex a few weeks back. Flyballer handler Hilary Larkham explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather what flyball is all about, how it came to the UK, and why precision timing is just as important as speed in this high octane, four dog relay race. Although you can see flyball at Crufts every year, this emerging, wildly exciting relay race over obstacles is not as well known as it deserves to be in the UK. We hope to bring you a longer version, but this is a great taster. Other interviews recorded at Goodwoof 2024: Ninja, the Barkour dog, who travels around Europe practising the noble art of parkour, or freerunning; Police Dog Meika, who searches for criminals cash, drugs and firearms with the London Metropolitan Police Find out more about Goodwoof. Do you work your dog or dogs? If you know a dog with an interesting job, Kate would love to hear from you!
