About this listen

A great Aussie yarn packed with inspiring stories of shelter dogs that have been given new life and purpose - and turned around the lives of others.

Steve Austin isn't your average dog trainer. In this feel-good, yarn-laden memoir he shares amazing stories from a career of rescuing and training shelter dogs to become a crack force of K9s, culminating in his work for the Young Diggers program, which pairs specially trained dogs with returned Diggers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and more, with astonishing results.

A down-to-earth Aussie larrikin of a bloke with a gift for telling a great yarn, Steve Austin trains extraordinary, elite dogs for vital missions internationally in the fields of drug enforcement, environmental protection and much more. From drug detection to penguins, cane toads and even truffles, and from the icy conditions of Macquarie Island to the LAPD, if you need something detected, Steve's got a dog for that. And a yarn to tell!

Steve’s book read by David Tredinnick is a must to read for every dog owner. His stories about his dog training and life experiences with his dogs are wonderful to listen to. His information on dog mannerisms and dog training techniques are invaluable to those who want to compete with their dogs to the highest level and to the pet owner who just wants a beautiful relationship with their dog. David’s narration and Steve’s knowledge about dogs made this book an absolute pleasure to listen to and as a dog owner of many years I learnt so very much.
