If you have a few minutes, I'd greatly appreciate you completing this survey regarding how your dog's behavior during thunderstorms and fireworks impacts you and your dog! Thank you! Here is the link: https://virginiatech.questionpro.com/noisesensitivity1

I could not be more excited to share the most recent episode of the Animal Training Academy (ATA) Making Ripples podcast. In this show, I have the honor and privilege of interviewing the amazing trainers who make up the ATA. In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with with ATA member Sarah Hedderly.

Sarah Hedderly - Ding Bat Dog Training specializes in working with Border Collies, and in this episode she shares about her journey with her own Border Collies, her work with others including the benefits that come along with specializing, and her transition to an online business model. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and experience and it was a pleasure to talk with her and learn more about her work.

Thank you for joining me on the show Sarah and, as always, thank you Ryan Cartlidge for making this show, and the ATA community, possible! 🙏
