  • Such a helpful podcast. Absolutely my favorite one

    Really hope to join Games Club some time since it sounds like just what I need but sadly unaffordable for me on a monthly basis

  • No turning back

    Once I found AD and games based training, I found the answers conventional training was lacking. I will never train a dog any other way again. The podcast is a breath of pisitive solution focused, fresh air on my commute every week. My relationship with my dogs was transformed.

  • Sight hound episode

    Every episode of this podcast is packed full of great information for dog guardians & trainers. The sight hound episode has to be my favourite so far. Okay, I’m biased as I am already a sight hound lover and owned by a lovely long legged lurcher.

    However both Sharon and Lauren’s insights into what makes these wonderful dogs tick & how best to connect with & train them gave me plenty of food for thought. It was also a fun & entertaining listen.
