  • Insightful and Informative

    Leah does an excellent job of providing tips, anecdotes, personal stories and even interviewing other dog professionals to create a show that’s not only enjoyable to listen to, but leaves you with some great information based on the topic.

    I eagerly look forward to more episodes when they come out.

  • Great Find

    I recently stumbled upon this podcast, and find tremendous value in the shared conversations. The hosts have a good way about them, and share practical and straightforward advice on training and dog ownership. It’s a great resource for both owners as well as any dog care professionals looking to continue to learn from, and gain new/different perspectives. There are plenty of laughs mixed in as well, with some very relatable stories of dog life. Give Leah and Lori a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jackson Cullinan
Q: How did social media affect the situation and what was the response?
The clip was taken out of context and amplified by large accounts, leading to death threats and harassment toward the owner and misinterpretation of the training methods; the team stresses the importance of context and education over sensationalism.
Jackson Cullinan
Q: What happened with Beans and why did you decide to take on the case?
Beans arrived with severe resource guarding and aggression; after initial attempts elsewhere, the guest agreed to a free boarding-train to attempt rehabilitation because the dog was young and there appeared to be a path to improvement, despite significant risk and controversy.
