The Value of Dog Training with Erin Moore
In this candid conversation (with adult language!) Sarah and dog business coach Erin Moore explore why dog training costs what it does, why bargain hunting might not be in your best interest as a consumer, and why dog training professionals by and large should be charging MORE.
