Ep 39 - Sydney and her Mastiff mixes learn from each other

This episode:
Sydney shares about Oso and Riis, her Mastiff mixes.  Riis was found abandoned and in need of care but also in need of confidence-building training.   Oso, who she raised from a puppy, was well trained and happy, but after he and Riis were attacked by two other dogs, he became aggressive.  Sydney shares a bit about the training and consistent work her dogs needed to overcome their fears and aggressive responses.   She also shares about how these dogs help her live a better life.  I know you’ll enjoy these stories as well as her book recommendations.
