Have a dog who is a bit TOO enthusiastic about saying hello? In this episode Erin and I talk about what you can do.
Fear of the vacuum. Barking out the window. A dog that struggles with grooming. Handling the seemingly unfounded feelings our dogs sometimes have about certain things can be complex; join Irith and I as we talk about the training tools and techniques we can use to change the behaviors we see and relieve those feelings.
Canine Fitness is one of those topics that can become as sophisticated as you want to make it! Today Kelly and I talk about what it's like to get geeky about fitness.
Join us for a panel discussion all about focus! What IS it? How do you train it? And what do we do if our dog doesn't seem to have it?

Behavior problems can wreak havoc on our lives with our dogs. So when issues occur what options are there? How do we decide which to pursue? Karen and I take a deep dive into what factors to consider when making those difficult decisions, including the choices no one ever wants to make: rehoming and behavioral euthanasia. Content Warning: Conversation includes discussion of behavioral euthanasia.

In preparation for the upcoming confident dog conference at FDSA, I invited 4 of the presenters for the conference on the podcast to talk about what confidences looks like in our dogs, how much of it is innate vs. something we can instill, and what the process of building confidence looks like. Join us for this fascinating conversation!

So excited to hear about the ideas and project in this podcast. Great episode.
I love this podcast. Such a wide range of different topics it's given me a lot of help with how to manage my high drive dog - not just about sports, it's about supporting your dog generally, and the trainers talk about general life lessons etc.
Fabulous podcast. There's actually something in it to help dogs at all levels. This foundation is something that can be repeated down the line in the dog's training life. Thanks!!
