  • This is the best R+ podcast I've encountered, and I've been listening to podcasts and studying R+ for years.

    I'm not a dog trainer, so on occasion, there's an episode that doesn't speak to me. However, I do train animals, including humans. I love how Sarah chooses topics that are SO RELEVANT. I can directly apply what she's saying to my own work.

    She's fantastically progressive, thoughtful, and gets straight to the point without wasting time.

    She should run for office! LOL if only.

  • Something for everyone!

    This podcast is geared towards people participating in dog sports, but it has valuable and practical information for everyone with a dog in their life. Even though I don’t participate in dog sports myself (yet), the sport episodes offer me some of the best training advice! I’m so excited to keep listening to the backlog.

  • Amazing, great resource!!

    I’ve been listening for the past couple months and concepts are actually sticking in my head. I feel kind of goofy about it because I’ve never actually owned a dog, but I feel that the general principles of training Sarah goes over are incredibly helpful when it comes to navigating stress and learning, both with dogs and humans. I can’t wait for the next episodes, and I hope to be able to apply this to my future dog🤩

    Thanks again!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REPLAY: Decompression Problems
Q: What should you do when a dog cannot meet all four behavioral wellness needs due to a medical restriction?
Consult with a veterinary team for possible behavioral medication support and explore enrichment resources such as scent work and social media accounts to maintain welfare during restricted periods.
REPLAY: Decompression Problems
Q: What context do you use start buttons in beyond agility, and are there other contexts you've taught dogs to say no or decline a cue?
Start buttons are rare and usually used in sport contexts; more important is building consent through a reliable absence of unnecessary cues and honoring the dog's engagement or lack thereof.
The Off Leash Freedom Summit with Tara Stillwell Freedom
Q: What is the Off-Leash Freedom Summit and who is it for?
A three-day, in-person, hands-on workshop designed for a mix of professionals, guardians, and aspiring pros, focusing on off-leash dog training in a stable social group with a heavy emphasis on safety, welfare, and community learning.
Patreon Minisode 9
Q: How can I balance crittering/hunting activities with humane, responsible pet ownership if there's potential wildlife harm?
Accept that occasional wildlife interactions may occur in suburban settings; design a schedule that alternates between high-energy enforcement and enrichment activities, such as nose work and controlled crittering experiences, while prioritizing animal welfare and responsible management.
Patreon Minisode 9
Q: What are practical options for switching training aids for a very large dog who reverts to pulling?
Evaluate the current tool's effectiveness, consider switching only if the new tool offers a clear safety and training advantage, use backup gear, and introduce any new equipment gradually to reduce stress while keeping the dog's safety a priority.
