Description
Join our host, Pat "The Packman" Buttitta (Dog Behavior & Rehabilitation Specialist at Packman To The Rescue, K9 Solutions & Coaching), as he teaches you, not only how to bring balance to your dog's life, but to yours as well.
Enjoy his "tell it like it is" and "pulls no punches" style as he gives you the tools and knowledge needed in order to provide dogs what they need in order to be happy, fulfilled, and well-behaved.
This is not just a dog centered podcast. Rather, it's a podcast that is meant to teach, inspire, and entertain.
And along the way, Pat "The Packman" will sprinkle in a few Sicilian words, and phrases.
It's about training people, NOT training dogs!
