Dog Training Bytes

Dog Training Bytes

Welcome to ”Dog Training Bytes” – the show where canine professionals share their key takeaways, big a-ha moments, and hardest lessons learned from working with dogs. Listen in as Mattison, certified dog trainer and behavior consultant, interviews dog trainers and other pet professionals about times that working with dogs… well, bit. Not literally (maybe literally). This podcast is all about sharing the lessons learned from experience. Because the stories of when it got tough, or when we made a mistake – that’s when we learn the lessons worth learning. And it’s time we share those with the world. What’s most important here on this show: what did they walk away with? What did they learn? How did it shape their approach today? Dog Training Bytes was created, produced, and edited by Mattison Simpson. Find information at www.dogtrainingbytes.stream and on Instagram @DogTrainingBytes.

First of all I want to take a moment to thank all of my dog nerd friends who let me interview them for the first few seasons of this show. It has been a BLAST! And so I'll be taking a break from releasing episodes this year to record brand new interviews for you!
