  • I LOVE this podcast!

    I discovered this podcast after hearing Panos on another podcast, and I am in the process of listening to every episode. I wouldn’t call myself a dog trainer, but I work with dogs for my job, helping prepare them for future careers in Animal Assisted Services, and along with reading Panos’ book, I listen to the podcast every day to provide me valuable info for my work with the dogs. Thank you for this podcast and the value it adds to the dog community!
