This week, Steve sits down with the brilliant Honour Smith (BSc, MSc, CCAB, ABTC-ATI)—to pull back the curtain on her incredible journey.

Honour currently runs the day-to-day operations at the Lincoln Animal Behaviour Clinic, and in this episode, she breaks down:

🔬 Why the University of Lincoln has its hallowed reputation.
🐾 Rescue handling, and how it builds ultimate adaptability.
🐱 What training cats (yes, cats!) teaches you about patience and reinforcement.
🧠 Her published, groundbreaking research on catching Canine Cognitive Dysfunction earlier.
💰 The taboo topic of finances—and why raising your prices can actually help your clients succeed.

Whether you're a dog geek, training student or an experienced trainer looking for a fresh perspective, Honour’s advice is pure gold.
