    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dogs of Ukraine - The Hidden Toll of War with Nadiya Prokopyeva
Q: How do you adapt training and care when access to resources is limited and the situation is highly unstable?
We focus on aggressive management strategies like crate setups in underground parking, relaxation mats, safe spaces, outdoor habituation when possible, and a flexible, fast-response approach to changing conditions rather than a fixed four-week plan.
The Dogs of Ukraine - The Hidden Toll of War with Nadiya Prokopyeva
Q: What are the most common cases you're seeing today in the context of ongoing conflict?
Many dogs are highly reactive, anxious, or suffer from separation anxiety due to trigger stacking, sleep deprivation, and the constant threat environment; we rely heavily on management and gradual counter-conditioning alongside potential medications when needed.
The Dogs of Ukraine - The Hidden Toll of War with Nadiya Prokopyeva
Q: Tell us about your background and how the last few years have been since February 24th, 2022.
I am a holistic dog trainer from Ukraine, now based in Romania, who shifted focus to behavior modification with a strong emphasis on diet, orthopedics, and physiotherapy as well as management, as war reshaped the needs of dogs and their guardians.
From Chasing Safety to Creating Risk: The Truth About Mass Dog Roundups
Q: How did this all start, and what was the big push for the initiative to round up all these dogs?
The push originated from a media report about a child's rabies death, leading the Supreme Court of India to mandate the removal of free living dogs, despite evidence showing humane methods decrease health risks.
Not in My House! Stranger Danger Aggression with Lisa Mullinax
Q: What is the role of pain in stranger-directed aggression?
