David and Josh sit down to discuss some realities of dogs and dog training in the form of 3 somewhat recent incidents that clients have felt with it.  We also discuss why we don't agree with rehoming dogs with serious problem behavior issues and discuss why training is about YOU changing your relationship with your dog not your trainer doing it for you. There are no "quick fixes"

David got into an online dispute with Larry Krohn a few days ago about a comment made on one of his posts as well as a podcast we had a segment about him in that was filmed last year.  For clarity, I think Larry is a very good trainer and there is no emotionally charged ill will behind any of this.  This is my response to him as he declined coming onto the podcast to discuss it.

Today David and Josh are joined by special guest Jeff Gellman of Solid K9 Training to discuss lessons learned over the last 20+ years training dogs and people, handling criticism and conflict, and stopping unwanted behaviors to live a better life with your dog.

David and Josh sit down and go over some questions from a listener about dealing with dogs doing poorly in public as well as asking some questions about k9-1 style dog training.
