  • Good topics

    All the topics are so interesting and I like that the episodes aren’t dragged too long. I learn a lot from the content!

    as a foreign listener the only thing that makes it hard to listen to more than one episode in a row is that she says “right” a looot. I can’t not hear it anymore, which is probably more my problem than hers.

  • Finally a “human” dog podcast

    Dear Rachel,

    I found your podcast just yesterday and I’ve been binge listening to it. Finally a dog podcast also meant for us humans.

    Your episodes make me feel less embarrassed and “guilty” for the training mistakes I’ve made in the past for example the episode about yelling at our dogs.

    I actually listen to the podcast using Spotify, I just opened Apple to write this review.

    Take Care,

    Liann (a listener from The Netherlands)

  • Great podcast for guardians of “difficult” dogs

    I’ve just recently started listening but this is quickly becoming my favorite dog training podcast. I like that Rachel’s advice is practical for being out in the real world. I also appreciate how candid she is about her own dogs.

  • Quality information from a fabulous trainer

    I am a positive reinforcement trainer (who has had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel as I also live nearby in Colorado), and her podcast is top notch. It’s full of practical advice for owners without talking down to you. Rachel is an amazing trainer and person and I highly recommend this podcast to anyone with dogs!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

367. Rottweilers, Herding and the Joy Of Training w/ Ayoka Burba BA, CPDT-KA
Q: How do you approach training different dogs, especially in specialized sports like herding and scent detection?
I meet learners where they are, break skills into smaller pieces, and adapt methods to each dog's and handler's needs, always prioritizing safety and humane methods.
367. Rottweilers, Herding and the Joy Of Training w/ Ayoka Burba BA, CPDT-KA
Q: What do you think about certifications versus hands-on experience for new trainers?
Hands-on experience is crucial; volunteering, dog daycare, and real-world training teach more practical skills and judgment than certifications alone.
367. Rottweilers, Herding and the Joy Of Training w/ Ayoka Burba BA, CPDT-KA
Q: How did you get started in training dogs and what shaped your early path?
I started by helping a mentor teach classes after showing I could train my own dog, which grew into teaching my own classes and eventually running a boarding/training operation; the experience emphasized hands-on work and mentorship over formal credentials.
366. Emotional Stability and Everything In Between w/ Karishma Warr
Q: What would you tell someone torn between adopting and shopping for a dog?
There isn't a simple rule; each dog's background matters, socialization, and the family's ability to provide ongoing relational care; the focus should be on creating a healthy, supportive environment rather than vilifying one path over another.
366. Emotional Stability and Everything In Between w/ Karishma Warr
Q: How do you view the role of social context in a dog's behavior?
Social context and human relationships are foundational; behavior is a reflection of a dog's lived experiences and the environment, not something that can be fixed by commands alone.
