The Art Of Doing Nothing

It's just Bill this time around.

In this solo pod, we're talking about doing nothing. Doing nothing is hard for dogs. For humans, that's a weird concept, but it's an important one when it comes to training. In the first part of the episode, Bill talks about why the ability to do nothing is important and how to teach our dogs that skill. In the second part, Bill opens up about one of the harder realities of working in the dog walking biz - the fact that people and their dogs occasionally move away.

And Bill wants to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And he wants to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options:

Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to [email protected]⁠. Bill will then play it on the pod and answer it.
You can actually jump on a recording session with Bill and you'll go over your question together. That'll let Bill ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot Bill a quick email at [email protected]⁠.
