Life With Your Dog is focused on dog training concepts and ideas that can be applied in a practical way, to enrich the life you live with your dog.
Educating dog owners, trainers and enthusiasts about these ideas so that we can train, manage, live and thrive with our dogs.
Making connections between dog training concepts and the way we operate our own lives.
We aim to unpack dog behaviour and training applications so that each episode has a topic to be covered.
