Sometimes as dog trainers, we focus much of our attention on the dog, and meeting the needs of that dog in front of us. Though, we can sometimes lose sight of the person on the other end of the leash, and accommodating their needs as well. In this episode of Fresh Bites on The Bitey End of the Dog I have an educational conversation with Abigail Witthauer about effectively working with people with disabilities, and ensuring that success can happen at both ends of the leash. Abigail also gives excellent advice on addressing the issue of ableism in the dog training community, and I hope the conversation about the many issues with ableism, and how it can impact our friends and colleagues, continues beyond this podcast.
