I started listening to these podcasts a couple of months ago. I started with the first episode and have listened to 2023 (I’ll continue listening to catch up). The format has changed since the beginning. The later episodes stopped the “Ask Victoria” segment, which I enjoyed. Nonetheless, I have learned a lot about dog & people behavior. I volunteer at a no-kill shelter and have used some of the information to better understand the dogs I walk & to give them a more positive, enriching experience.... more
If I could give this 0 stars I would. No one should be taking advice from her. There is too much of lack or no understanding or real true knowledge of dogs, behavior is overwhelming and frankly disgusting that she even calls herself a dog trainer.
A deep dive into the behaviors, world and perspective of dogs, great advice on how to have a positive (better!) relationship with my dog.
So many people ask why this is happening sometimes I want to hold a mirror up to them and say “reflect please”. Thank you for your honest communication, education, and hosting like mended humans.
Informative, current and positive. I recommend this podcast wholeheartedly.
