I’ve taken a deep dive since discovering this podcast and can confirm that all the episodes are i... more

This podcast has covered such a wonderful variety of topics in a welcoming, accessible way. I spend a lot of time driving and this has helped pass the time and given me so many awesome rabbit holes to deep dive down!

I’ve been listening to this Podcast for a couple years now and it’s never not amazing! Kayla consistently puts out really interesting and informative episodes. It’s kind of absurd how much I’ve been able to learn about dog training and conservation through just one podcast. If you’re into dogs and conservation this podcast is definitely for you!
