Episodes

  • After a year of weekly episodes of The Iggy Parents, we are taking a break from the podcast to focus our efforts on our YouTube and other social media channels. We still plan to bring you the good, bad and ugly of raising some iggies, but you’ll find us elsewhere on the internet for now!

  • As you may know from our previous announcements and podcast episode 57 - Moving Back to the City, we are moving back to Toronto! With the move, comes the opportunity to take Phoebe to dog training school for the very first time. Let’s explore our journey taking Adelaide to When Hounds Fly in Toronto and what our hopes are for Phoebe’s training in the near future. We also discuss what to look for in a training facility if you are looking for the first time or if you want to brush up on your basic skills.

  • In this episode, we talk all things collars and harnesses.

  • In this episode, we discuss everything to do with dogs escaping. We had a scare this week when Adelaide slipped by us out onto the front yard. We got some stories from our community, tips for how to limit the risk of a dog escaping, and what to do if they do get away. This is a tough subject to talk about, so fingers crossed you never need the tips in this episode, but we are here if you need us.

  • We asked our audience for thoughts about dog parks and off-leash areas, and they have some thoughts!
