Season 3 is kicking off with our first Client/Owner-centric episode ever!!
It's funny to think there are so many ways to go about something as simple as walking down the street with your dog. We often get questions like, "Should I ask them to heel, or let them walk freely?", "should they be allowed to sniff or expected to focus?", etc. In this episode, Mariano and Brent discuss the methods of leash walking with your dog and they go over the pros and cons of each of the major methods. Thanks for listening!!

Dr. Temple Grandin is a professor at Colorado State University. She is a published author, a highly respected animal behaviorist, and an all-around highly respected and influential voice in the humane treatment of animals. DTP co-hosts, Brent and Mariano were lucky enough to speak with her. The topic of why the use of tools in dog training came up. Her latest book "Visual Thinking" was discussed briefly as well. More than anything, though, you can really feel Dr. Grandin's passion and level of insight into understanding how animals view the world as well as themselves. This indeed was one unique and insightful conversation. We are confident that you will find it as beneficial as we did! Thank you for listening!
