You've dedicated your life to helping animals- just like us.
Emily Strong was training praying mantids at 7.
Allie Bender was telling her neighbor to refill their bird feeder because the birds were hungry at 2.
You're an animal person; you get it.
We've always been animal people. We've been wanting to better animals' lives since forever, so we made a podcast for people like us.

Enrichment is just for pets. It’s for the humans too. It’s for pet parents trying to keep their cool while their dog parkours around the house or their cats who keep making biscuits on their chest at 3 in the morning. It’s for the pet professional wh... more

I’ve learned so much and appreciate the real... more
Is there a safe way to play hide and seek when the older dog has a history of food/funnstuff aggression towards the teenager? It’s well managed now, but as a precaution?
I absolutely love listening to this podcast and eagerly await each new episode. The house gives amazing advice, information that you can easily implement. They also have great guests that I learned a ton from.
I’ve learned so much from these folks, and it makes my day when there’s a new episode to listen to
When all the enrichment ideas you see on the internet aren’t working for your dog, you turn to Emily and Allie. They break things down so it makes sense. Why things work-or don’t work and they interview people who may have totally different animal backgrounds but tie it back in to how we can do things well for our pets!
If you want to listen to a podcast that’s accepting of all walks of life-humans and animals this one is it!
It’s the one podcast that I go back and listen to episodes more tha... more
