After a month off the air, we’re back! In this episode, I talk about some great options for activities you can do with your dog, and why I highly recommend to all dog owners the fantastic sport of Nosework, also known as Scentwork. At the end of the episode, I talk about how to properly keep your dogs cool and healthy during periods of high heat.
