  • Most balanced & informative podcast for Working Dogs

    I have about seven podcasts about dogs. This is by far the most balanced & common sense one. I hate that it is no longer on the air & I hope Marcie is doing well. Marcie, we miss you & hope you will be back soon!

  • Happy that the show is back

    Hopefully this new episode means more are to come. I love the stories of working dogs. This show inspired me to certify my dog as a therapy dog and start volunteering. Keep the episodes coming.

  • Just started

    I have had this podcast downloaded and ready to listen to for months - but time being what it is and all the mind bending news in the past couple years taking up my podcast time, I just haven’t gotten to this one. So today I felt like listening to something a little different and I finally got to “Working Dogs”. I listened to the episodes about stress in dogs and therapy dogs. Both were very interesting. I love Marcie’s voice which is always important.

    Anyway, if you like or love dogs, give this... more

I'm accustomed to pods sponsored by low key products and services for which you enter the pod's code when you buy or ... here's what some do… they have a Patreon so we can get our own version without advertising. I'd almost forgotten why I'd started giving on Patreon on TheThinkingAtheist and possibly Ostium since I appreciate the podcasts, like the bonus shows in the case of TheThinkingAtheist (and other ones that do it) and in general ... more

  • Thanks

    Hi Marcie,

    I am a client of Paws With a Cause as well. My first dog will retire sometime within the next year, and I’ll move on to a successor dog. Bittersweet, for sure. Thank you for sharing the life of a service dog handler, and your dogs with a wider audience
