48. Drinking From A Fire Hose Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

We discuss the challenges of facing TOO MUCH information when it comes to figuring out how to train your dog. Its a testament to the the dog training community that so many are willing to help others but it can be a challenge, especially for a first time handler, to manage the information and find the right methods for you and your dog. Being able to break down the information into manageable bite size chunks is key.
