Sarah Kalnajs CDBC, CPDT-KA

This show would have never been possible without all the learning I've been fortunate to do with so many incredible trainers over the years. I’m definitely standing on the shoulders of giants, and one such giant in our community is Sarah Kalnajs of Blue Dog Training.Sarah and I chat about a number of interesting topics during this episode, including building trust and rapport with our clients, and why that is important, as well as some interesting cases we’ve experienced over the years, and we also discuss a tragic case that recently occurred with a petsitter in Texas that you may have seen in the media. So I hope you are able to gain some nice takeaways from this episode with the always insightful Sarah Kalnajs. For additional resources on helping dogs with aggression, visit:https://aggressivedog.comIf you want to take your knowledge and skills for helping dogs with aggression to the next level, check out the Aggression in Dogs Master Course and get a FREE preview here:https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/courses/aggression-in-dogsDon't miss out on the third annual Aggression in Dogs Conference  9/30-10/2/22:https://aggressivedog.com/conference/Woof Cultr swag!https://woofcultr.com/collections/the-aggression-in-dogs-conferenceAbout Sarah:Sarah has been working with dogs professionally for over twenty years and is the owner of Blue Dog Training and Behavior in Madison, Wisconsin.
