today we discuss things that I believe contribute to the increased cases of neglect and cruelty in dog training and boarding kennels across the country.

So this individual asked, have you ever covered what to look for or what questions to ask before boarding your dog or sending them to a board and train? Just from a safety perspective, I've been hearing so many tragic stories lately that seem to involve negligence.
One trainer who had been recommended by a well-known trainer with a large social media following had two dogs die within a month after leaving them tethered on slip leads unattended.
It also bothered me that there didn't seem to be any public acknowledgement after the first incident.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how owners can better evaluate trainers and boarding facilities.
Oh, okay.
Damn.
I remember one of the OG, like, attacks on Miracle Canine Training was when we posted this before and after video with this...
And, you know, in the before clip, I held her paw and she started thrashing around to try to get away from me and I just held the paw and she's, you know, screaming like we're murdering her.
