We also introduce Brittney and Tiffany's new company Bravo-Tango Supply. B/T Supply will target a lot of different things to include freeze dry supplements and dehydrated products. I briefly mentioned Stellen Coffee Company, which is new venture I'm getting into through my online store in Shopify. 

We closed out the podcast with all the upcoming events for Wisconsin Guardian Foundation and highlighted a few veterans up next for Heros-to-Heros Foundation. We also closed with Matt Snook's song. RIP sir, you are missed dearly.

Today we have two special quest. Both are members of the Public Services sector as Nurses here in Wisconsin. That's not the only thing they have in common, they are both married to Law Enforcement Officers that just happen to be canine handlers. So what was it like for Chelsea Hall and Devan Nehls helping care for two working line Czech Shepherds in Yeti and Tek. What is it like having a retired canine live in the house that mentally thinks he can still work? Would they change anything? Is Chelsea excited for the day Yeti gets to retire? Give it a listen and let us know if your experience has been the same.

Today it's just me, Jessie, talking about several of the events we have coming up between now and the end of the year. We have crossed the 100 police dogs in Wisconsin and it's not slowing down. We also have been hitting the service dogs hard for the wounded veterans. Lots of fundraising going on so we would love to have you join us.  

Today we interviewed Danny Pol from Brussels and Michael Hefton from Albany Georgia. While their worlds couldnt be different they have ended up in the same place Iron Ridge Wisconsin. Thank you both for joining us and for those of you new to the podcast GOODLUCK has today we have a Dutchman and a few folks from South Georgia talking dog training. 

Scott and I have been attempted to get this get this podcast recorded for weeks. Well, its finally here we get into green dogs and the struggles of trainers not wanting to put in the work to actually train dogs these days. 

This podcast is really more about all of us, me included, continuing to learn and evolve for the sake of today's dogs. give it and listen and please bear with us as we did have a few connection issues. But it is still worth your time I Promise. 

This episode Dennis and I discuss how our paths crossed thanks to the friendship he forged years ago with founder of CJ3 Foundation, Eric Thomas while serving in the U.S. Army when their paths crossed in South Korea. That friendship, common bond, and mutual respect for God & Country lead all of us to a hunting opportunity provided by Wounded Veterans of Southwest Ga back in 2020 thanks to another mutual friend J.R. Coker.  Its amazing a group of men from  Virginia, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida can cross paths and build such a strong bond for a common goal. 

We also talk about the challenges facing the first responder, military community and lack of funding to help these men and women in need. To donate to the CJ3 foundation please visit their website www.cj3foundation.org. If you are in the South Ga/North Florida area and wish to support one of the trainers providing services dogs to this organization or need training on your personal pet reach out to Gus Navarro with K9 Concepts Dog Training at www.k9conceptsdogtraining.com.  You can also donate to the Wounded Veterans of Southwest Ga by visiting their website at https://woundedveteransoutdoornetwork.org
