  • Best for dog owners!

    I’m a new dog owner and I listen to tons of dog training podcasts. This one is a hidden gem and I feel it’s the best for basic practical, accessible information for pet owners. Other podcasts have a lot of theoretical discussions and seem more focused on dog trainers. Which is great and informative— but this is the podcast I find I get actual useful tips for the average dog owner. Some of the really big influencers for pet owners seem a little too flashy and a little too simplistic in their... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Introducing Dogs to Cats
Q: What are the signs that a dog wants to kill a cat versus be friendly?
Key indicators include age (younger dogs are less likely to have a fixed intent to kill), breed and drive level (high-drive breeds may be more prone to escalations), temperament, and past exposure to cats. The hosts emphasize asking clients about temperament, recall, and how the dog responds to toys and toys' movement, as well as observing how the dog behaves around a cat before attempting any introductions.
Taking Audience Questions
Q: What should you do if a puppy barks in a crate and owners want to extinguish the behavior?
Owners must balance proactive training with humane handling; while some people see success by ignoring barking, the trainers advocate for initial intervention to teach calm behavior in the crate and gradually build a calmer baseline that reduces overall stress in various situations.
Taking Audience Questions
Q: Is mounting always a sign of dominance, and should it be corrected?
Mounting is not always dominance; it can be excitement or a dog asserting itself, and whether to correct depends on the specific dogs' signals, safety, and whether either dog is distressed or at risk, with emphasis on allowing dogs to advocate for themselves when appropriate.
Taking Audience Questions
Q: What do you do if a dog running the fence line won't come when called?
The suggested approach is to prioritize stopping the undesirable behavior and then training recall with controlled practice, using a combination of recall cues, close-range corrections, and alternative behaviors like coming and sitting, while ensuring the dog learns that coming to you is rewarding and safer than continuing the impulse.
Taking Audience Questions
Q: What was that smile for?
The hosts celebrate their successful handling of the question and pivot to the next topic, emphasizing the confidence built from addressing the audience and the flow of the Q&A session.
