Summary

Nothing will excite a family faster than bringing home a puppy. The emotions often sway back and forth from joy to frustration. When the pup you've brought home is there not just as a pet, but also to serve a purpose, the training journey from kindergarten to college graduate can be long and arduous. Brent's in the thick of it with his Treeing Walker puppy, Jessi. Plot twist, not everyone's happy with how it's working out so far. He's also sharing a listener story that fit perfectly with that theme. Get the treats out, it's time for MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
