Hey friends! Please enjoy today's episode as I give a debrief about my recent 2 week long road trip to teach a tactical course out of state, and take a look at how all of the dog-details went during the extended trip. I brought on a good friend, Dave, to help do some interviewing. Please check us out on Instagram at @K9Philosophy.

Today I discuss how the last three Board & Train experiences went, here on the farm. We've been really busy the last 60 days or so and we are VERY happy about that! We're excited to share the experience of growing our dog business with you!

Today @RW_Higgins (Instagram) joins us to talk about living with 12 dogs, off grid living, group commands, and his daily routine with multiple working breed dogs in the house.

Check him out on instagram for more about his dog-life!

Today we talk about the basic leash concept "a physical tool connection between dog and handler" and we discuss the higher level concept of using a leash as a "lead", which is a tool that we use to get the most out of our dogs.

If you want a long and healthy relationship with your k9 companion then some standard obedience will help make that relationship much longer and much happier and healthier. Give this short episode a listen and see if the "leave it" command is something that you'd want to add into your life with you and your dog.
