"Beneath the Leash" episodes aim to be your critical companion in understanding the potential downsides of relying solely on human-made tools and help you navigate the complex landscape of modern dog training. Please tune in to gain insight into the delicate balance between technological advancements and preserving the authentic connection between humans and their canine companions.
