Welcome, listeners, I’m so glad you’re here! In today’s episode, we’re going to focus on dogs who help their humans find things hidden in the forest. In a way, they’re treasure hunters. And what is the treasure they seek? First up, we’ll talk to Alana McGhee, a dog trainer, handler and owner of Truffle Dog Company, who will explain to us what she and her dogs go looking for in the forest: truffles!  Next, Roger Sigler, owner of Antler Dogs, gives us the inside scoop on what antler shed dogs do.

For more information on either Alana or Roger and their work with dogs, visit https://truffledogcompany.com or http://www.antlerdogs.com, respectively.
