Your dog can be loved, well-fed, and perfectly “trained” and still be living a life that doesn’t feel good to them. That’s the uncomfortable heart of animal welfare, and it’s why I sat down with Kim Brophey and veterinary behaviorist Dr. Carlo Siracu... more

    Oh my, all the episodes are unbelievably wonderful. However, Sindhoor Pangal has to be one of the most fascinating people to listen to. She is incredibly intelligent, provides you information on a wide range of topics in the canine world and is so engaging.

    I could listen to her all day. Thank you for having her on the show.

  • What every dog needs us to understand

    I’ve been in dog rescue since 1998 and somehow became the area’s so called aggression expert. I wasn’t, but had the incredible good fortune to live 15 minutes from Sue Sternberg.

    The things we know now compared to then open new avenues of hope for troubled dogs, and no one explains them with more understanding and compassion than Michael. I highly recommend getting the subscription.

  • If you listen to ONE podcast in this show- make it the one with Tim Lewis

    This was one of the most insightful and detailed, fact based conversations this show has seen. I don’t write reviews often, but I felt compelled after this episode.

    I’ll be very honest, the show as a whole is insanely informative regularly, and maybe having a scientist confirm all of the observations and conclusions pertaining to canine behavior I’ve pontificated through years of training dogs confirmed was so empowering perhaps dopamine hit is still guiding this review, but this episode was c... more

Still Dog People: Two Truths

Still Dog People: Two Truths
Q: What did you think, Jill, listening to this story? And what were your reactions while listening to it?
I focused on fear, aggression, and anxiety aspects, and immediately started considering the dynamics of supervision, the underlying dog behavior, and how exposure to dogs was handled to help the children cope and gradually overcome their trauma, while also exploring the family's long-term healing and resilience.
What Really Predicts Dog Bites? With Dr. Helen Howell
Q: What are the main risks associated with current testing methods in shelters and legal contexts?
Current methods in use often rely on provocative or hands-on tests that do not predict real-world risk well and can be ethically problematic; a structured, evidence-based approach reduces bias and improves predictive value.
What Really Predicts Dog Bites? With Dr. Helen Howell
Q: How does the DBR24 tool work in practice?
It uses structured professional judgment to consider 24 risk items plus three items about potential bite impact, enabling a professional to judge low/moderate/high risk and to adjust risk over time with management strategies.
What Really Predicts Dog Bites? With Dr. Helen Howell
Q: What motivated the shift from dog-centric bite risk tests to a more holistic framework?
Dr. Howell explains that variability and ethical concerns in existing assessments, plus the availability of evidence-based approaches and input from experts across disciplines, led to a framework that includes human factors and environmental context, not just the dog.
