Off Leash And Unfiltered
Kati Peppe, owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in southern Maine, shares her thoughts and experiences on all things dog. Brutally honest, these harangues are entertaining and thought provoking.

If you've ever struggled with your dog or wondered why the dog training advice out there doesn't seem to work, this podcast is for you! Served with a little salt and lots of love.
