Amanda Corr joins us today to talk about dogs and dog training. Many of us attempt to train our own dogs at home, but can a mere hobbyist succeed? Dog training is no joke, and if improperly implemented, can lead to disastrous (and dangerous results). In today’s episode, we also cover important factors in dog training success as well as some discussion of breed specific legislation, a particular hot button topic in the canine world.
