The Joyful Dog - Introduction

All things dogs, from training, behaviour, working in the industry and more!

The Joyful Dog Podcast discusses all things dogs and dog training. It explores what it is like to be a dog trainer, from self doubt to amazing highs. It is run by Niamh Lynch, an Irish dog trainer working in Dublin, Ireland. Relatively new to the industry with just 6 years formal experience, she hopes to shed light on all facets of what it is like to be inside this unregulated industry, striving to provide high welfare and advocate for her doggy pals and clients as well as ever-improving her own skills. Occasional guest appearances from other trainers and dog professionals as well as in-depth discussions will hopefully spark some great thoughts and even more joyful dogs.
