Panos describing the lessons learnt walking neighbour's dog, Molly.
The return on investment on proper and adequate application of dog training is massive!
Being able to spend the present moment and appreciate the beauty of nature with a dog is priceless.
The effort you put into your training and communication style with your dog, you will get back so much more in relationship, experience and love.

A great conversation with Adam about raw feeding and all its benefits.
Healthy nutrition for dogs is important for a happy, healthy and strong dog, mind and body.
Raw & Fresh Pet Food supplies fresh pet meals made with only the freshest raw ingredients without any chemicals, preservatives or fillers.
Their goal is to create a healthy balanced diet for dogs and cats which came with affordability, convenience and great customer service.
They saw more and more pet owners looking for a healthier alternative to traditional pet foods and thats when Raw & Fresh was created.
