    I💕 this podcast. There is so much information packed in each short episode. On a few occasions I've had to pull over to take notes. The banter between Dale and Tyson is great. Each ads their own perspective and I like how Tyson asks Dale questions to keep the conversation moving. Thanks for a great pod! Can't wait for the next episode!

Answering Your Questions! How to Handle loss | Sugar Crashes | NoHS | Episode 40
Q: Being an AKC judge, is it okay to ask a judge after a show why they didn't pick your dog?
Yes, you can ask after the end of a set when there is a moment to speak with the judge, and frame the question as what can be improved rather than criticizing the winner.
Episode 51: Listener Questions
Q: What breed do you think deserves more attention in the show ring?
Breeds with lower entry or less visibility often get overlooked, and greater exposure can come from judges, promotions, and breeders who actively showcase them to audiences; visibility can drive more entries and appreciation for diverse breeds.
Episode 51: Listener Questions
Q: What are some of the most important things mentors teach that the internet can't?
Mentors offer dog-specific, experience-based guidance, personalized to the dogs you work with, and help you navigate real-life scenarios, avoiding common pitfalls that generic online advice cannot address.
Episode 44: Listener Questions | AKC Inspections | USDA Licensing | Car Sickness
Q: When should a kennel transition from hobby to business?
Evaluate based on money coming in versus spending, including veterinary costs, facilities, utilities, and time; if there is consistent monthly income and growth, you're likely past hobby status and should consider licensing and tax implications with professional advice.
Episode 44: Listener Questions | AKC Inspections | USDA Licensing | Car Sickness
Q: How do you dry dogs quickly for grooming in a kennel?
Use maintenance baths to keep dogs clean and check their condition, then employ commercial drying cages or large cage dryers to dry multiple dogs efficiently; combine with fans and temperature control to avoid overheating, and tailor drying to each dog's coat type.
