We teach our dogs to sit, stay, and come when called. But what are they teaching us?

In Episode 4 of The New Skete Podcast, Brother Christopher and senior trainer Tom O’Hanlon join host Ida Williams to explore the patience, trust, and self-awareness that grow through life with dogs.

From unexpected beginnings in dog training to the joy of being greeted by “a best friend that lives in your house,” this conversation offers stories, humor, and plenty to reflect on.
