  • Great podcast

    Brilliant podcast guys, I worked alongside Danny a few year ago and have seen first hand the amazing work he puts into his and other peoples dogs. I still work in the dog industry but at the total other end of the scale. The owners of the little dogs I look after at my doggy day care would really benefit from a listen to this podcast, so I will definitely be sharing. Thanks and keep up the good work.
