by Mike Deathe CPDT-KA

Kids

The Keep It Simple Stupid DOG Training Podcast is for dog owners who want practical, real-world answers without all the unnecessary complication. Hosted by Mike Deathe, owner and trainer at K.I.S.S.

With more than 18 years of experience and roughly 10,000 in-home training sessions, Mike uses positive reinforcement to help owners better understand, manage, and train their dogs in everyday life.
