  • Excited!

    Have the privilege of training with Howard and I can’t express how awesome he is. The man is a wealth of knowledge and you can tell he loves what he does. Thanks to him and the crew of guys I work with I’ve reignited the love I had for my career when I first started. Working with dogs is easily one of, if not the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and I’m glad I have Howard there showing me the ropes. Super excited to listen to this podcast and see what else I can learn!

  • Wonderful podcast and excellent information. For old timers like myself, Jeff, discussing how he got his start was a real walk down amnesia lane. I was fortunate to have met Glenn Rimbey and a few others that he mentioned.
