Talent and Desire and Our K9 Partners

K9 Detection Collaborative

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.

How much of the equation is talent vs. training? What do temperament and genetics have to do with a dog’s success? Our hosts delve into all of this and more in today’s episode!
