SDOS Episode 31 – Talking pooch’s and prisons with the Dublin Dog Trainer, John Ward

Episode 31 – Today I am talking to the one and only Dublin Dog Trainer AKA John Ward. John has been dog training for over 40 years and today he shares his wisdom with you! We chat about John’s love of agility and why John thinks agility has become too competitive, how he uses dogs to help out in prisons, why you shouldn’t force comfort onto your rescue dog, and why there’s no place for glory in dog training. There is something for dog owners and dog trainers alike so sit back and enjoy the show.
