Episode 74: You're A Damn Good Dog Trainer... But What About The Art Of Training Owners?
In this episode of Mind Your Own Dog Business, Kristen Lee sits down with Dog Biz School founder and 20-year dog training veteran Maggie Christina on what it takes to be a damn good facilitator and educator to your dog-owning clients. Sure, you're a great freaking dog trainer with the best hands-on dog training skills and handling; but educational systems are you using as a dog trainer to transfer that knowledge to the dogs' owners.
