Either this title is missing a lot of hyphens, has a bunch of typos, or I'm having a stroke.

    learnt is the correct spelling in British English, the title seems fine?

    Those commas are incorrectly used. Commas are used to separate dependent clauses (if I remember my English classes correctly, it's been a long time).

    "Back of the pack runners" is (I think) a noun phrase, so should be hyphenated to indicate this.

    Same with "tail walking".
