  • Great Podcast!

    I really loved the episode on pitbulls! So many breeds are misjudged and misunderstood because of various things. Thanks for creating a place for dog owners to learn from.

  • This podcast is amazing!

    I love this podcast! I started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago whenever I wanted to listen to a podcast about dog training. I’m so glad I found this one. I’m currently a kennel tech at a dog training facility. I’m 17, but whenever I turn 18 my goal is to become a dog trainer. I think Robert’s opinion on things is really interesting, helpful and important. Every time I listen to an episode I come out learning something new. I also love the names he has for his dogs. I’ve shared this pod... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 134 - The Future of Healing Dogs - Dr. Jaime Pickett
Q: Should owners start using this with young dogs, or only as dogs age?
It is advisable to start early as part of comprehensive wellness, similar to preventive dental care, to support longevity and overall health.
Episode 134 - The Future of Healing Dogs - Dr. Jaime Pickett
Q: Is this therapy safe for daily use, and can you use it more than once a day?
Yes, daily use is fine, with typical sessions of 20-30 minutes and a maximum of about three hours per day across multiple sessions.
Episode 134 - The Future of Healing Dogs - Dr. Jaime Pickett
Q: What exactly is the difference between EMF and PMF in this context?
EMF provides broad, continuous, modulated signals focusing on autonomic nervous system regulation and systemic effects, while PMF is pulsed and more localized to tissue healing.
Episode 132 - Malinois Gone Wrong
Q: How do you distinguish a reputable breeder from a backyard breeder, and why does that matter for the dog's health and life after adoption?
Reputable breeders ask lots of questions, support lifetimes commitments, and will take dogs back if needed. Backyard breeders often lack accountability, which leads to health and temperament problems that end up in shelters. The key is breeder accountability and the dog's welfare over profits.
Episode 123 - A Dog Trainer's Journey - Manny Guerra
Q: How do you differentiate dog parks from play groups at your facility?
Manny explains that play groups at his facility are controlled and built on known relationships with dogs, unlike the unpredictability of dog parks.
