Two dog trainers, Monique Anstee from The Naughty Dogge and Jill Brown share raw conversation as they preserve the art of dog training. With different dog experiences from different venues of herding, IGP, CKC and AKC obedience, in addition to training pet dogs, they will share ideas, tackle challenging subjects like dog reactivity and aggression, fear, stress, while bringing in a historic perspective.
