K9 Arwin ,

Thank you!

Thank you for what you do for our community! I listen to a lot of K9 podcasts, but many of them are just banter and not skill building advice. I am beholden to the 9th circus and appreciate you helping us navigate their waters.

Latest episodes

I am a police supervisor and recently found this podcast and listened to the last four episodes one after the other while working in my yard. You guys do a great job selecting guests and allowing them to provide great information. I really like when you ask the guests to explain exactly what they talking about in specific training scenarios!
Thank you! Keep it up!
