  • We get it; you don’t like Cesar Milan.

    I love the content that’s actually about dogs, but there are so many episodes just devoted to hating on Cesar Milan. I don’t like the man or his methods either, but it just seems obsessive and it’s not interesting.

  • Honest and insightful

    Listened to the latest episode on the Treat Clincher, an informational analysis of new dog product with a realistic look at its value proposition and whether it’s worth its price tag. Helpful commentary for dog owners on a product that could make their lives easier and their dogs’ lives more enriched. Thanks for the deep dive!
