A chat with Jean Donaldson

Leave us a message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2375248/open_sms] In this week's episode, I'm really thrilled to be talking to the person who has had the greatest impact on my professional life. My teacher, mentor and friend, Jean Donaldson. It was thanks to Jean and her Academy For Dog Trainers that I embarked on the biggest shift in my adult life. I went from being a professional sound engineer to working with dogs full time.  Jean started The Academy For Dog Trainers.... I tell you what. I'll let Jean explain but if, after hearing Jean speak, you'd like to be considered for a place in The Academy go to https://www.academyfordogtrainers.com/ And her course for dog guardians is here: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/dog-training-101 Thank you for listening to The Sociable Dog Pod.
