Customer Reviews
Trainer, Coach, Cheerleader, Therapist….all in one!
Somehow, Steffi always has some part of her podcast that speaks directly to me. Sometimes training your dog feels like climbing a mountain, with ranges yet to go. Never fails, that when I feel like I’ll never “get there”, she speaks directly to my situation, my frustration and my feelings and puts me right back in the saddle. Appreciate so much her insight from all sides. She is cheering for you AND your dog! You’ll nod your head in recognition of your situation, regularly. So good!
Comfortable training
This was an excellent podcast. Each of the 10 tips made sense and made me realize that my dog was “going through the motions”.
My approach to trading our 2 dogs will definitely change. I look forward to more podcasts.
Good podcast
