Hi Couch Wolves Friends,Welcome to the first Couch Wolves Podcast! This project has been a dream of ours since the website came into being a year ago. We're finally ready to share our thoughts and feelings in a candid audible setting. We're new to the whole audio recording and editing thing so please know that we hope to bring you better and better quality recording in the future.Today's podcast is about the terrible dog training and behavior advice that we hear on a regular basis. We each brought up a few examples of advice that have been driving us crazy and explain the rational and a more grounded interpretation. We go off on some competition rants but that is to be expected from 3 dog sports competitors...Guests: Katie Brennan and Caitlin PuskasChat with us at www.couchwolves.com/forum with your thoughts on the podcast and what you'd like to see in future podcasts.
