What to listen for:

Today, the Dames of Detection dig deep into the meaning behind talent and desire as these often-subjective terms pertain to the world of dog training and detection work. Our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing share experiences and stories in an attempt to pin down what it means to have a talented dog or be a talented trainer.
