Paw'd Cast: Trainer Steve Walter doesn't use food or toys

Steve Walter, Nitro K-9

Steve Walter hates head halters — the Gentle Leader and it ilk — as he writes in this blog post and discusses on this podcast. Steve also doesn’t believe in using toys or food. He does believe in prong collars for training, but says they are used in very specific ways. Steve trains all sorts of dogs, but also sees aggressive animals other trainers have given up on. Did I mention Steve can be controversial and thinks many trainers are misguided?

You really need to visit his website and look around. But first, meet Steve on this 9-minute podcast, recorded April 8, 2018. He will be back with us again soon.
