Welcome back to Campfire Convos.In this episode, I’m joined by my buddy Evan, a professional dog trainer, for a long, honest conversation around the fire. We talk about dog training philosophies, behavior modification, discipline, consistency, and what it really means to bring balance into your life.The conversation expands into faith, personal growth, burnout, health, routine, and slowing down, along with some lighter moments about food, barbecue, cooking, and a bold challenge to cook a whole gator if this episode hits 100 likes.We’re posted up around the fire on Cliq Chairs, sipping Andy’s Shandy from Brew Bank, keeping warm with our sponsored fire pit, and ending the night with a Campfire Convos whiskey pour.If you’re a dog owner, thinking about getting a dog, or just trying to build a more balanced life, this episode is for you.🔥 SUPPORT THE SHOWBuy us a log and help keep the fire going:https://ko-fi.com/meanderin_mitch🪑 GEAR & BRANDS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODECliq Chairs (Classiq 2.0)https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101445030-13868159Use code MEANDERIN_MITCH for 10% offBrew Bank – Ridgway, PAhttps://www.facebook.com/brewbankcoPack Fire Smokeless Fire Pithttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581396151542💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATIONDrop a comment below:– Are you team routine or flexibility with dogs?– What’s the one meal everyone should learn how to cook?– Should Evan cook a gator at 100 likes?⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Campfire kickoff, chairs, beer & setting the tone06:00 – Dog training journey & behavior modification14:40 – Training philosophy, discipline & consistency26:00 – Burnout, balance, health & slowing down41:30 – Cooking, barbecue & food passion52:25 – Faith, fear, trust & life perspective58:30 – Advice, final thoughts & campfire toast
