I really enjoy Jessica's podcast! She does a great job breaking down dog behavior in a way that's easy to understand while staying grounded in the science.

This show centers on practical, science-based approaches to managing reactive dogs, with a strong emphasis on first principles over one-size-fits-all methods. Episodes frequently break down contingencies, ABC analysis, and the limits of popular protocols like Engage-Disengage, highlighting when reinforcement, distance, or environmental factors may backfire. Guests include veterinary behaviorists, trainers, and researchers who discuss pain, biomechanics, and humane training tools (e.g., muzzles, Freework) to build lasting behavior change. A notable strength is the blend of clinical insight and real-world coaching, plus the occasional deep dive into training tools and measurements that help practitioners tailor plans to individual dogs.
