  • So glad we found these podcasts

    We have 15 month old Staff cross EBT who has had two previous owners in his short life so far (the owner before us kept him for only 2 weeks before advertising him).

    My husband and I are new his FOREVER family. We know we are going to have our work cut out as we have discovered that he has allergies that affect his digestion and his skin.

    We also learned that when we got him he was dealing with a giardia parasite problem.

    In just five months our vet bills are into 4 figures but he is going... more

  • Stupid advice

    What sort of stupid advice is this. Instead of giving advice as how to stop a dog reacting to a doorbell, the advice is to change your doorbell so it only notifies you, or asking delivery driver to leave packages in a separate box. This from a vet apparently.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 152 Help! My Dog Won’t Stop Humping Visitors!
Q: My dog constantly tries to hump visitors. That is unfortunate. She's a female and has been spayed. What can I do to stop her?
Mitchell says humping can result from overexcitement or conflict, and recommends teaching the dog to settle on a bed with rewards. Practice with visitors at a manageable distance, initially using a lead and high-value treats, and reward the dog when visitors move or speak. Gradually reduce treats and remove the lead as the dog becomes comfortable.
Ep 151 Does Your Dog HATE the Car? Top Tips for Travel Anxiety
Q: Paddy is six months old and terrified of traveling in the car. He's panicking and trying to escape. How do we help him?
Mitchell recommends teaching a cued “find it” behavior at home, then gradually practicing around and inside the car in different locations. Once Paddy is comfortable, the owner can build up to calm time in a stationary car and introduce engine noise and short movements in small steps, monitoring his comfort throughout.
Ep 149 From Pancaking to Explosive Greetings: Why Your Dog Drops Flat Around Other Dogs
Q: Hi Tom, I have a struggle with my beagle. Eddie has a habit of lying down as dogs approach and then springs up in their face to say hi. Lots of dogs don't like it, and I get that, but he will not move or stand up. What can I do to fix this?
The answer emphasizes stopping the rehearsal of the stuck state and building the disengagement skill through a structured rewinding game, starting at home and gradually increasing distance and real-world practice, paired with high-value cues and attention to prevent escalation. Long-term progress relies on consistent practice across environments to strengthen top-down control of emotion centers.
Ep 140 Double the Dogs, Double the Drama? How to Tackle Multi-Dog FOMO!
Q: Can I get Tom's help with multi-dog behavior problems?
Yes, the host promotes booking a Behavet behavior consultation to receive a customized plan for transformation and supports continuity through insurance-friendly options.
Ep 143 Why Treats Aren't Working: The Secret to Building a Foodie Dog
Q: Hi Tom, please can you help? We love watching you playing with your dogs on the Help! My Dog Facebook page, but when we try, we are struggling to get Iris' interest. She isn't food motivated. What can we do?
The approach is to first make food a fun, low-pressure interaction without demanding tasks, using high-value treats in short bursts to shift her perception of training from a chore to a positive experience, then gradually reintroduce training as a rewarding game and layer in goals only after motivation is established.
