Episode #14 with KD Mathews of Socratic Canine "The Human End of the Leash"

Send us a text Howard and Rich had a great conversation with KD Mathews of Socratic Canine. KD is vert charismatic and engaging. We feel confident that you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we all did. Training dogs, and even more importantly, educating humans, has been the priority for KD Mathews for over 25 years. KD now combines his shared experiences of training both pet and working dogs, with his years of working with humans in both public education and private enterprise training. The result is a remarkably effective human-centered approach to helping dogs and their owners. When he’s not working with dog owners with his company, Socratic Canine, KD regularly appears on a variety of podcasts and has quite the “colorful” social media presence which can be consumed on both Facebook and his Instagram @kdmathews.
