Just A Dog Trainer

Join me for my conversation with Stan Smith of Iron Sharp K9. Based in Cleburne, Texas, Stan is a busy, working dog trainer and social media creator specializing in obedience and manners for family pets through protection dog training. Stan’s friendly, relatable style coupled with his exceptional technique took him all the way from the lone star state to being chosen as a contestant on A & E’s “America’s Top Dog,” with his partner and canine companion “Rocko,” an American Pit Bull Terrier. His signature ending of each video with, “take care of your dog,” demonstrates his strong connection not only to his own dogs, but to his clients’ dogs as well.

Only 8-10% of dog owners/guardians in the U.S. have or will use professional dog training services. That means dog trainers on social media will be the only dog trainers they actually see, hear and learn from. As a rewards-based dog trainer, what kind of information are you putting out? Further, how are you addressing not only the public, but other professionals in the field as well? Are you being a positive image or a negative one?
