Episode 34 - Scent Work: The Native Language of Your Dog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your dog’s nose is doing something extraordinary every single moment of every single day. In this episode, we dig into the fascinating science behind the canine olfactory system — and the numbers are genuinely mind-blowing. We talk about the world of scent-based service dogs: how they’re trained, what they can detect, and the ways a dog’s nose is helping humans manage everything from medical conditions to search and rescue. And then we bring it home — practical ways to tap into your own dog’s na
Episode 33 — Ask the Trainer: What 20 Years Really Teaches You About Dogs and People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We turned the tables. This time, Rachael and Noel put Pam in the hot seat — and asked the questions they’ve always wanted to ask someone with 20 years of real-world dog training experience. What changes after two decades in this work? What’s the hardest part that nobody talks about? What does spending 20 years training dogs teach you about the people on the other end of the leash? No single topic, no technique deep-dive. Just honest conversation, real stories, and the kind of perspective that on
Episode 32 - Doggie Day Care: What to Look For, What to Expect & Questions to Ask (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever wonder what really goes on at doggie day care? We go behind the scenes — the good, the surprising, and the things most owners never think to ask about. We cover what to look for when choosing a day care, the questions you should be asking before your dog goes in, and what to realistically expect once they’re there. And of course the stories, because our own experiences have been full of moments that taught us more than any handbook could. Doggie day care done right can be an incredible form
Episode 31 - Real Talk From Dog Trainers: Surprises, Worries & Tips You Need (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one's a little different. No single topic, no deep dive — just the stories, moments, and hard-won lessons that remind us why we love working with dogs every single day. And why we're still here. Pam introduces the idea of “edutainment” — education with an entertainment spin — and honestly, that’s exactly what this episode is. We get into the moments that surprised us, the dogs that taught us more than we taught them, and a handful of real, practical tips woven in along the way. If you’ve ev
Episode 30 - Household & Environmental Hazards: Hidden Dangers for Dogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Another installment in our safety series, “Hey, Let’s Be Careful Out There,” our ongoing safety series — and this one stays close to home, literally. We’re covering the household and environmental hazards that put dogs at risk: plants, chemicals, and food items that are toxic, some of which genuinely surprised us when we started looking into this episode. We walk through what to watch for in your house and yard, the everyday foods that are riskier than most owners realize, and what to actually d
