  • Surprised me in the best way!

    I’m not a dog person (yet), but the host shares such thoughtful insights on reactivity, nutrition, and even managing burnout, lessons that apply to humans too! It’s honest, practical, and straight-up entertaining. Definitely worth a listen, even if your only pet is a houseplant.
