Getting to Know Our Podcast and Building Growth Mindset-Part One

Welcome Everyone to the Mountain Dogs Coaching Call & Podcast. Im Jill Kovacevich from Mountain Dogs and am excited to launch a new format for our monthly live-zoom coaching calls. We will be recording the audio from our live zoomcast and uploading a link to the Mountain Dogs and Release Canine websites, and onto our Podcast Hosted page,  as an On-Deman Podcast available to a broader audience as a scent detection sport dog training and trialing resource. Getting to Know Our Podcast1- Format Change- We have had great success with our coaching calls covering training and trialing topics, that are invaluable, with input from all those that attend.
