EPISODE 103
Do You Feel In Charge? Training a Working Dog
Are you training your dog, or is your dog training you?
Jim and Mike talk about what it means to work with a service dog, what distinguishes them from pets, how to select them, train them, and employ them. Mike also talks about different training methods and how some of them work in different ways.
The principles of dog training go outside of just employing a dog in a working environment. A dog who follows simple commands will help keep your dog, and your family, safe and happy.
