In 'The Future Of Dog Rescue Part 1' we meet Kelly Gorman Dunbar, professional dog trainer, industry consultant, and educator/mentor for dog trainers! She's also the COO and Training Director for Sirius Puppy & Dog training and a content creator and instructor for the Dunbar Academy, an online educational resource for both pet professionals and owners.

In this episode Kelly and Hannah discuss the past and present of dog rescue, they discuss some of the broken systems we have normalised in rescue centres globally and touch on what the future of rescue could look like should we adopt the highly successful Open Paw programme she has developed on an international level. 

You can catch up with Kelly under 'Kelly Gorman Dunbar' on Facebook, @kellydunbardogtraining on Instagram and TikTok, and the dunbaracademy.com

Big thanks to our season 1 sponsor Natures Menu, Europe's leading expert in raw and fresh pet food for all their delicious support.
