    Background sounds
    I couldn’t get through the first four minutes of an episode because a cell phone was constantly chiming like it received a text message. It was the same tone I use on my phone so it was especially distracting and jarring for just trying to listen peacefully to a podcast. Why would you not silence your phone while recording a podcast?!?

    Thinking of Getting a service pet

    Awesome information
    Whether it's which lead, which park (Disney or Universal), which e-collar, which puppy...Victoria has an answer for every question you may have on the service dog journey, Short and sweet, with no BS. Love it!

    Great Resource
    Victoria is fantastic and so thorough with all the information she provides. Between this and the online course I’ve been working on through Dream Dogz bringing home my prospect is much less daunting!
  • M.J.......
    Great podcasts!
    So far these episodes are great! And they have lots of information. I my self am training a service dog for psychiatric and neurological reasons. So far she has a little longer of training but is doing good all she really needs to get used to louder areas, alerts and tasks.
