  • 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.

Bringing Flexi Back with Jay Jack (Part One)
Q: So essentially you teach them to avoid hitting the end. Is that fair about how you're teaching it?
Jack agrees and explains that he uses a dial-a-distance leash to create clear, gradually shorter boundaries. This lets him build cooperative walking in measured steps rather than relying on vague distance judgments.
Bringing Flexi Back with Jay Jack (Part One)
Q: You say leashes are a major point of disagreement between dogs and people. What makes them a source of conflict?
Jack says people and dogs have different travel speeds and preferred distances. A standard six-foot leash reflects human expectations of social proximity, and can restrict dogs without people recognizing that the restriction may feel unpleasant.
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.
