It's just Bill this time. In this solo pod, Bill talks about why you REALLY should pay attention to your dog during a walk ... along with a sub-rant about retractable leashes. Spoiler: They're the worst.

And in the second segment, Bill talks about the importance of microchipping your dog and tells the story of how they helped a happy husky find his way home.

DON'T FORGET: Bill wants to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And they want to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options:

Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Bill will then play it on the pod and answer it.

You can actually jump on a recording session with Bill and you'll go over your question together. That'll let Bill ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot Bill a quick email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
