Show Notes

Anyone that has tested before can relate to the fact that you're usually going into the test thinking/predicting certain outcomes just to be thrown a curveball as the test actually takes place. Dale Bolyard joins me this week to discuss his thoughts going into his dog's NAVHDA Utility test and tells us what he's confident about as well as what is making him nervous. The next episode will be the test recap after the test and we can compare the results to his predictions before the test.
