The Dog Who Asked for More: Dog Training and Dog Behavior for Relief from Guilt, Burnout, and Self-Doubt
Includes transcripts
This isn’t your typical dog training podcast. If you’ve tried five trainers and a stack of YouTube videos and still find yourself googling relationship with my dog or reactive dog at midnight, you’re in the right place.
This isn’t a podcast about obedience. It’s for anyone whose “good dog” turned out to be more complicated than that.
Listen and you’ll learn how to:
- Understand your dog’s behavior without shame or guesswork
- Build a calmer, more connected relationship through training, nutrition, and enrichment
- Feel less alone in the burnout, grief, and quiet exhaustion of loving a dog who needs more
I’m Em. Former vet tech, dog trainer, and canine nutritionist. Fitz washed out of service dog training and never added up the way training said he should, so I became the person I was looking for. Toby, 15, is teaching me what it means to stay present through the slow goodbye that comes with a senior dog.
Solo episodes, guest conversations, and real stories, three times a week, covering the dog side (behavior, reactivity, nutrition, enrichment, body language) and the human side (grief, burnout, and what it costs and gives you to love a dog like this).
Named Sniffspot’s #1 Dog Training Podcast and ranked in the top 3% of podcasts globally.
