  • Helpful for us and our dogs

    Our dogs have varying levels of energy so it was great to find a podcast with numerous topics that are relevant to them on an individual level. I also like the varied lengths of the episodes. I find myself able to listen to podcasts shorter than ten minutes and that is provided here quite well. Thank you to the host Emily for a wonderful podcast.

  • Such a gift

    This podcast is such a gift for anyone trying to navigate life with a reactive or overwhelmed dog. Em’s guidance is calm, practical, and incredibly reassuring — you can feel her lived experience in every episode. I love how she blends training, nutrition, and enrichment into simple steps that genuinely make a difference. If you want a happier dog and a calmer home, this is the show to listen to.
