Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex and a Squirrel podcast. I'm Lauren Langman. I'm one of the world's leading dog trainers and it's my mission to help owners become their dog's top priority. In each episode, you'll discover how to gain trust and

communicate with your dog like never before, creating unbreakable bonds that make you the most

exciting part of their world. Okay, we're talking confidence circuits. This is something that

We've got the confidence circuit badge.

It's a very, very nice course. And basically, it teaches

your dog's problem solve through movement. Now, I love it for naughty but nice dogs. And Linda,
