  • Great podcast with volume sound issues

    Love this podcast and I’m trying to hang in there with the sound issues. Volume is all over the place and it’s not possible for me to enjoy listening when I’m trying to relax. The sudden changes in volume can be quite stressful. If that doesn’t bother you this is an awesome podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A Episode!
Q: How should owners handle a dog's changed or poor food drive when training is stalled due to lack of interest in meals?
Do not force feeding; instead, structure daily training around a fixed food allowance, close the restaurant when the dog declines, and crate them to avoid constant opportunities for free meals. This builds drive and reframes training as rewarding and necessary rather than optional.
Q&A Episode!
Q: What are the recommended nutrition approaches when addressing mixed opinions on dry kibble vs. raw feeding, especially with a high-energy dog?
Offer a few trusted kibble options and consider a transition to raw feeding for active dogs, but ensure you include muscle meat, bones, and organs as part of a balanced DIY or commercial raw plan. Work with a nutritionist when possible and plan to do a more in-depth series on dog food to avoid blanket recommendations.
Q&A Episode!
Q: Isabella's Kelpie issue—why is the dog refusing to train outside and what steps should be taken first?
The core problem is that the bedroom has become the dog's classroom, while outside is viewed as a place for play. You should create a higher-value outside training environment by conditioning value to the outdoor setting, start with short five-minute sessions, use the dog's main diet for rewards, and gradually phase in toys only after the dog reliably performs the behavior.

Q: What should I do if my dog won't bring a Frisbee back?
Use a long line to reel the dog back and teach them that the game continues when they return.

Q: How can I tell if a dog daycare is a good one?
Look for structure and rhythm, staff presence, and no chaotic environment.
