    I’m only a lowley little old lady with a pet Terrier with a prey drive through the roof.

    I love these podcast as they give me insight into my dogs drive and motivation.

  • Ivan Interview and … so much more:)

    I’m really enjoying your style of interviewing. I’ve been avidly following Ivan from afar for years and I had more insight into who he is in this interview than I’ve had with many hours of listening and purchasing Videos. Thank you!

    Also loving the podcasts on breeding since my philosophy (RoseRidge Miniature American Shepherds) is very much in alignment with the ideas you are expressing

  • An excellent resource for dog pros.

    I really love this podcast. As a dog professional and crossover trainer it’s been an excellent resource. I really enjoy all the interviews to get an opportunity to know what others are doing in this diverse field. The business advice is also a useful addition that Nick features from time to time.
