Keep up the hard work Sway! Our community of brothers and sisters need this now more than ever. I’ll always listen and love the interviews. It’s nostalgic and humbling. Also Steve was a great addition, it’s good to hear about service from a different perspective as well. Keep it up boys

Armin Winkler

I really enjoyed listening to Armin whenever he’s on a podcast. He is a founding father of K9 training much Pat Nolan or Dr McKenzie. Nice job in letting him just talk his knowledge.

A great listen-every time!

Great host, interesting and relevant guests, great topics! Sway engages his guests in great conversations and dares to keep it real and honest and to the point! He’s a breath of fresh air in the industry and is contributing to great changes in the K9 world. Thank you- keep it up!
