1. What’s a word or phrase that only someone from your profession would be likely to know and what does it mean?

2. What’s a specific story you tell your friends that happened on the job? It could be funny, sad, anxiety-making, pride-inducing or otherwise.

We can’t respond to every message, but we do listen to all of them! We’ll follow up if it's a good fit.

So fascinating! I am sending this episode to people I know

I just listened to the interview with the dog trainer Keeley and I was blown away! I am not a dog person mainly because I was bitten by a dog and have a hard time relaxing around them but I have friends with dogs and family with dogs and I do interact with them. Listening to Keeley describe her work with dogs gave me a headspace in which I believe I will be be more comfortable with a dog. She had a lot of information about dogs - their behavior and what they need - but also just what that relationship is between an owner and a dog. And maybe I'll be able to extrapolate what I learned from this podcast to my relationship with dogs. I almost wish I had a dog now! (actually, no, I don't. 100% cat person.)

Thank you, Matt and the podcast people for highlighting what a dog trainer does! Well done on your questions and how you ask them. You get a lot of information from people in a relaxed, conversational style which is easy and fun to listen to. I am going to listen to every episode and tell my friends and family about this podcast!
