## Resource

This week on DogTorque we’re joined by Louis Simpson from Lochiel Stockdogs. We chat about where he’s travelled, the places he’s worked, the dogs he’s learned from (and the ones that have taught him a few lessons the hard way), and how all of that has shaped the way he trains today. It’s a real conversation about backing yourself, putting in the work, and figuring things out as you go. Plenty of dogs, plenty of stories… and a few laughs along the way.
