Dogs with Jobs

Meet 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.

What is Canicross? Team GB athletes explain this human/canine sport
Tuesday, 1 July, 2025

What is canicross? Team GB athletes, Sarah Gillam and Jen Davies, explain the challenges and joys of this ultimate team sport for two athletes running together - one canine, one human. Canicross UK describes it as "...off-road running with your dog. Your dog wears a harness specifically designed to allow them to pull, you wear a belt/harness which allows hands-free running and you are attached to your dog with a bungee line." Canicross' origins lie in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, developed as a means of keeping "mushing" dogs fit during the summer - in peak condition for the winter season. Sarah Gillam and Jen Davies are leading canicross athletes who compete internationally, representing the UK. They give a great overview of canicross in this episode, and explain how they look after the well-being and safety of their dogs in this exciting sport.  The interview was recorded by presenter, Kate Fairweather at Goodwoof 2025, the dog-centric event on the Sussex estate, Goodwood. Do you work your dog or dogs?   Kate is always fascinated to hear about dogs with interesting jobs -including athletes!  Get in touch to recommend anyone or if you are interested in coming on the show -just email Kate Fairweather at team@shineradio.uk.  Photo credit: Jen DaviesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
