The Keep it Simple Stupid DOG Training Podcast
It Started as a little dog training business in Shawnee, KS. It was then a blog, and then we wrote some books! Videos next and a YouTube channel. We figured a podcast was the next logical step. What will you get? Honest, positive, science-based talks about all things dogs and dog training. We are all about training owners vs training dogs and we strive to teach folks to reward the behaviors they want vs. looking to correct the behaviors they don't want! It is all about redirection, rewarding, and reinforcing what it is you want your pup to do.
