Great Podcast! I want more though

First off I LOVE this podcast! Not only is it super convenient for me to be able to listen to while I work rather than trying to read the website but it’s very logical and clear as well, super solid stuff. I wish more people and trainers would take this to heart. Only thing I would want to change is to add Q&A episodes with Steve every so often.

Loving this podcast - more please!

So interesting to hear more about Nitro’s training methods here! They are unlike anything else I have run across so far, and over the last 3-4 months working with Nitro as a client, my dogs are literally transformed. And no food!!! What??? Yes it’s true. Some magic with understanding and leveraging how dogs communicate, and establishing engagement and a bond through the training method. Check it out, expand your mind, love your dogs!!

Save your time

This is literally just the articles on the website read to you for most of the episodes. Quite redundant if you're capable of reading. There's no training advice, just a lot of very strong opinions being thrown at your ears. It frankly seems like they're just trying to keep up with more well known trainers who have had podcasts for ages (e.g. Solid K9 Training).
