August 01, 2023 Episode 90 - behind the scenes of training and water deliveries
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
I cover a few bits and pieces related not to training itself (how to train a specific behaviour) but how to conceive of various training-related issues in a broader way. Does that sound vague? Well, you'll just have to give it a go. PS I also cover water deliveries.
