I thoroughly recommend "The Dog Listener" by Jan Fennell and "The Dog Guardian" by Nigel Reed. Both approach #dogtraining by firstly building mutual trust. Both are easy reads, Nigel's has a slightly more scientific slant.
This is beautiful.
Apparently it was still being used to count sheep in Yorkshire when I was a little kid, I first heard it from this strange little song by Jake Thackray youtu.be/TiXINuf5nbI?...

So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Not for the first time, I’m being told that attacking Farage for his boyhood racism is futile. The opposite is the case, as you can see from how rattled he is by it.
And no, it’s not about persuading Farage fans anything, it’s about mobilising the non-voters and encouraging tactical voting.
