Interview with Josefin (Scroll down for video interview)
Question: Please introduce yourself?
Yeah, you know my name already, Josefin Linderstrom, I am 25 years old. I started training my family dog when I was about 13, and we did agility together. And that’s sort of when I started with shaping and learned about that. And I’ve been doing it ever since with dogs. Lately started with horses and bunnies as well, but I need to do more with them because there are only 24 hours in a day. But dogs are definitely sort of the main thing that I am doing.
Question: Can you tell us about the importance of cooperative care training?
I think it’s super important to not just think of getting things done. I want to really consider what the experience is for the animal as well. And the whole thing about cooperative care is … It’s like something that some of us nerds are really into right now. It’s like a trending topic on different forums, and in the animal training academy, and so on. But I think we need to try and reach more people with it. Like regular pet owners, because it’s not very difficult to do. I was surprised that when I started, I was really surprised at how easy it was to apply. And I think it’s definitely something that pet owners can apply. So, I think for 2018, I will be doing a lot of retraining and filming and just trying to put it out there.
Question: Can you talk about your experience with Animal Training Academy?
Sure. I joined last fall, and it’s been really inspirational and really given me sort of a boost. It’s so awesome to have this community and super cool to be part of this little nerd club, where you can sort of speak really … Because I can’t really … with people I know, there’s no way to have a conversation about this stuff without having to explain everything from the beginning. So, it’s really nice to have this little base where you can just be you. You don’t have to be a nerd to be a member. I think that’s really cool as well. It’s not like it’s unavailable if you’re not super nerdy, but it’s nice that there are other nerds. It makes me feel a little bit less alone in the world.
