Emily Larlham, aka Kikopup, has forged the path for dog trainers on social media, spreading the word about progressive reinforcement training. 17 years ago, Emily’s first YouTube video was released, and she has been creating a positive change for dogs and people the world over ever since. Emily graciously joined me for a chat about how Kikopup started and her background in animal rescue, conservation and working with shelter dogs. Enjoy this extract from our livestream celebrating 200 episodes of Shaped by Dog.
