  • Up level your dog knowledge

    As a dog owner, I want the best for my little guy. He’s my everything! But sometimes general nutrition isn’t enough. Tuning into the spiritual side to nourish is a new direction for me, and I’m really stoked to learn more. This show highlights actionable ways to do this with a blend of woowoo and reality. Its addicting and I’m so glad to have found it!

  • Insightful, inspirational, and informative

    I have a challenging dog and for the past 2 years I have listened to a ridiculous amount of dog behavior podcasts. I was so focused on traditional training until I came upon this podcast and this has really inspired me to slow down, consider other ways of helping my dog, and focus more on our connection. It has also opened my eyes to more natural ways of living my own life and raising my children. Alexia is so kind and lovely. She always takes the time to answer questions and offer support and I... more

  • Great content

    I just found this podcast and I’m really enjoying it. I am a certified professional dog trainer, and also run a dog rescue.

    I deeply believe that we need to connect with our dogs and nature, get off our phones and see the sentience and beauty. This podcast has great content that speaks to the nature connection

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Raw Feeding: What the Evidence Actually Says About Canine Health (Part 1) with Dr Anna Hielm-Björkman
Q: Why is long-term, independent research crucial in this field?
Long-term, independent studies reduce bias from funding sources and marketing; they help establish true cause-and-effect relationships, reveal how processing affects metabolism, and provide trustworthy reference values for health markers in dogs on non-traditional diets.
Raw Feeding: What the Evidence Actually Says About Canine Health (Part 1) with Dr Anna Hielm-Björkman
Q: From your research perspective, what is a truly species-appropriate diet for dogs?
A species-appropriate diet is not defined by a single formula but by how well the food's form, nutrients, and processing match the dog's biology; data suggest metabolic differences between raw and dry foods, and the most important questions are about long-term health outcomes, individual variation, and how to best reflect nutrient bioavailability rather than just macro counts.
Revisited: Canine First Aid - What Every Guardian Should Know with Rachel Bean, RVN
Q: What are the most critical emergencies pet parents should be prepared for?
Bleeding, heat-related emergencies (heat stroke and heat stress), choking, CPR, burns, and dog bites are the top scenarios; being prepared with a first aid kit and knowledge can dramatically affect outcomes.
Listening Beyond Behavior: A Conversation on Shamanic Dog Training & Deep Connection with Tamryn Fudge
Q: How did shamanic principles integrate with practical dog training for you?
They created a dual framework: a body of technique for concrete skills and a body of knowledge for how to relate to the dog in every moment, allowing safety and freedom without relying on force or rigid rules.
What Are We Really Feeding Our Dogs? The Dog, the Bowl & the Stories We've Been Told, with Dr Tom Lonsdale
Q: Could you comment on how the current marketing around dog diets came to dominate mainstream understanding?
Marketing-driven narratives, pseudo-science dressed as science, and vested interests in the veterinary and pet-food industries have created a distorted baseline. True understanding requires returning to the biology of carnivores, emphasizing texture, ingredients, and challenging the corrupt system that profits from processed foods.
