Topic: Dogs at restaurants, teaching settle and chill.

Guests: Michelle Mullins

Synopsis: Kat and Becca are joined by trainer Michelle Mullins to discuss all the skills needed for public restaurant outings. Taking dogs to outdoor cafes or restaurants requires dogs to settle under tables, which isn’t something we normally do at home. Cafe life also requires dog owners have some ability to protect their dog from overzealous dog greeters. Join us to learn all about Public Patio Skills.
