Join me for my conversation with Stan Smith of Iron Sharp K9. Based in Cleburne, Texas, Stan is a busy, working dog trainer and social media creator specializing in obedience and manners for family pets through protection dog training. Stan’s friendly, relatable style coupled with his exceptional technique took him all the way from the lone star state to being chosen as a contestant on A & E’s “America’s Top Dog,” with his partner and canine companion “Rocko,” an American Pit Bull Terrier. His signature ending of each video with, “take care of your dog,” demonstrates his strong connection not only to his own dogs, but to his clients’ dogs as well.IG: IronsharpK9TikTok: IronsharpK9You Tube: IronsharpK9
