In the very first episode of The Baroo podcast I chat with certified professional dog trainer,  behavior consultant and author Irith Bloom about something I think most pet parents are familiar with: walking your dog. We chat about ways you can make the walk more enjoyable for you and your pup and why taking your dog on a sniffari  can help you raise a calmer canine .Irith is a CPDT-KSA, a CBCC-KA, a CDBC, a KPA CTP, a VSPDT, and a CBATI. She is also faculty at both Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Academy and DogBiz’s Dog Walking Academy, and she's certified in TAGteach, a positive reinforcement method for teaching humans. She is on the board of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), and Chair Emeritus of the Education Committee of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).
