  • This is a great podcast!

    Love this show. Erin always has such a great mix of topics; educational ones on training, nutrition, the rescue world, etc… the only negative is that about 50% of the time I end up in tears listening to her podcast! (While driving around with my pups in the car of course)

    I am impressed Erin's delivery and storytelling skill- even when talking about a very hard time in her life, she handled it beautifully. You'd never know she wasn't a professional. Coming from a person... more
