The only podcast that actually helps you train dogs!

I own a dog walking and pet sitting company in Sarasota, FL . I noticed so many of my clients have poorly trained or bad behaviors. It was not fun taking care of them in the beginning. I decided to attempt to train the dogs when I was walking them or while doing an overnight dog sit. I haven’t taken any “formal dog training certifications” since I’ve had good results training my own pets. However, ever since listening to the advice and tips that Will explains in his podcasts aIve improved my training abilities and it makes it easier to explain the process to the dog owner. The way he speaks in his podcasts and the psychology behind the process, makes understanding the steps to training wayyyy easier than other outlets out there. I’m usually out walking dogs during the day so I’m unable to watch a YouTube video on this topic . Will explains very clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand without having to see a visual. In addition, I learned about Fear Free through this podcast and became certified as a pet professional (the only dog walker and sitter in Sarasota, FL I might add!) Thankyou Dog Training Today for being an inspiration to my new business. I will continue to learn more everyday.
