"The adventures agriculture has taken me on is incredible" with Muster Dogs Star Blythe Calnan
Description
Adventure pulses through the veins of Pilbara cattle woman Blythe Calnan.
From navigating live cattle export supply chains in Jordan in the Middle East, to raising pasture-raised poultry in southern WA - Blythe's habit of saying 'yes' to opportunities in agriculture has taken her to all sorts of climates and farming systems.
She's now back in her home state of Western Australia, teaching the basics of low stress stock handling and soil health to show the role working dogs can play in healing landscapes.
Liv caught up with Blythe at the Grounded Festival in Bridgetown where she madly jotted down Blythe's dog training mantras, which she discovered can be applied to all sorts of life and business scenarios!
