What’s more important to you: What your dog does? Or how your dog feels? This question is at the core of Andrew Hale’s Dog Centered Care approach.
An emerging thought leader in the dog training world, Andrew draws on his background in human psychology to place empathy and a deep understanding of a dog’s emotional experience at the heart of his work. He’ll even share with us his biggest ethical dilemma with the field of dog training.
You might want to have a notebook handy as Andrew breaks down concepts for us such as: his “safety first” protocol, his Learn – Support – Teach mantra, and how the 3 A’s of psychology relate to dog training.
Andrew and I also discuss common challenges faced by pet parents, including the cycle of conflict triggered by a dog's reactivity, and how to emotionally navigate those moments when tough decisions must be made for your fearful or reactive dog, such as an emergency vet visit.
You can find Andrew in his Dog Centered Care Facebook Group or YouTube channel.

Have you ever wondered if you’re making the “right” decisions for your dog during an injury or illness?
All Michelle Slater ever wanted was to have a dog of her own with whom she felt a special connection and bond. And her German Shepherd, Brady, was that dog.
In fact, Michelle even started learning animal communication to enhance her connection with Brady – something that she kept to herself, concerned her fellow professors in academia wouldn’t understand or would ridicule.
However, after a rollercoaster of adventures, Brady was struck with a life-threatening illness at only 5 years old. He spent months living at a vet hospital – where Michelle often slept on the floor next to him at night.
Michelle again turns to animal communication to guide her – with Brady’s input – to make the best decisions for his health during this scary time. And Brady’s profound messages are lessons for all of us.
Exploring topics of grief, loss – both human and animal – and the human-animal bond, Michelle’s book Soulmate Dog is part memoir and part essay. If you’ve ever been curious about how people have viewed animal telepathy over the years, it’s fascinating!
TW: Themes of grief and loss, both human and animal, throughout.

Holiday Giving Campaign: Let’s help Cara Achterberg (Episode 75) provide her newest book Who Will Let the Dogs Out: Stories & Solutions for FREE to America’s shelters and rescues!
What If you could solve your dog’s biggest behavior challenge TODAY? Dog trainer Juliana DeWillems says that while immediate results usually aren’t possible in dog training – they can be when we use management techniques.
In her new book Manage It! Hacks for Improving Your Dog’s Behavior, Juliana shares how us Pet Parents can easily solve many of our dog’s behavior challenges by changing our environment.
Juliana explains different approaches to managing our dog’s behavior when greeting holiday visitors at your home as well as dealing with reactive dogs. Her book even includes charts, worksheets, photos and videos (via QR code) to help you find the best hacks for your unique home, life and challenges.
We’ll discuss the difference between training and management – and when to use each one (or both!). Juliana & I also share some of our favorite management tools and techniques that we use with our own dogs.

Has your dog ever helped you through a hard time in life? Your answer is most likely a resounding YES, right?
Author Christopher Dale credits Vector, his rescued “sato” dog from Puerto Rico, with helping him start a new chapter in life after going through hard times. Like really hard times. Like life-changing medical diagnosis turned depression turned addiction turned nearly blowing up his marriage-type hard times.
Chris became curious if other people were having a life-changingly special relationship with their rescue dog too. In his book “We Saved Each Other: How Rescue Dogs Help Us Through Hardship,” Chris mixes in his own memoir reflections with profiles of other rescue dog adopters to explore experiences such as trauma, grief, addiction and mental health challenges and examine the role of their dogs in their journey. (Trigger warning for ongoing discussion of these themes throughout the episode.)
"Courageous Vulnerability" is the phrase I kept thinking while reading "We Saved Each Other". I admire Chris and all those who share their stories for the vulnerability it takes to share some of the messier parts of life. And I thank Chris for holding space for me to share a part of my life that I don’t usually talk about, as well.
Chris also shares with us what he’s learned about the condition of sato dogs in Puerto Rico, the work of The Sato Project nonprofit organization and what he knows about Vector’s early life.
My hope is for this episode to be a reminder that despite our differences, we’re all going through the same types of challenges in this human experience.

Have you ever thought about your pet parenting philosophy? Maybe you have an idea in your head of what you want your relationship with your dog(s) to look like, but how would you describe it?
A few months ago, on an Amazon recommendation & a whim, I bought Debby McMullen’s book How Many Dogs?! Using Positive Reinforcement training to Manage a Multiple Dog Household. And I loved the book so much, that I had to find Debby and bring her on the podcast.
Debby is known for sharing her life with multiple dogs. Working as a dog trainer since the late 1990s, Debby developed a niche in the dog training world helping families introduce & integrate new dogs into multi-dog households.
Debby shares – what I will call – her “ pet parenting philosophy” and it’s the closest explanation I’ve seen to how I feel about my relationship with my dogs. We discuss what this looks like through setting boundaries and the importance of routines & predictability for establishing trust with a new dog in your home.
So are you ready to introduce a new dog to your family? Whether you are or aren't, Debby identifies important body language and training cues that are helpful for any & every pet parent. We also discuss how to teach your dog good behavior without needing a clicker!
Debby & I also dive into the dynamics of multi-dog households – from navigating meal times to giving individual time & attention to refereeing playtime to dealing with any problems that arise.
So how many dogs is too many dogs? While that answer changes from family to family, Debby reveals factors for you & your family to consider when making this decision.

Do we really have to understand science to teach our dogs?According to Annie Grossman, it really does help - both us & our dogs - if we grasp the basics of how dogs learn. And she should know. Annie is the author of the new book How to Train Your Dog with Love & Science as well as the founder of the dog training collective School for the Dogs based in New York City.
But science doesn’t have to be difficult, and Annie helps simplify the concepts for us. As Annie’s book says: if we don’t actually understand how dogs learn, then we’re just “muddl[ing] along with a mix of intuition, good intentions and emotional reactions.” I know I’ve definitely been guilty of this!
Annie introduces us to the Training Triad, her 3-pronged approach to changing our dogs’ behavior. We also discuss what the LIMA approach (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) means.
Annie also shares with us the many ways in which learning about learning benefits our lives – from making us smarter consumers to raising the next generation.

Have you ever heard someone say that you should be your dog’s “alpha”? I’ve heard all types of odd advice over the years, like don’t let your dog walk through the doorway before you or never feed your dog before you eat.
And I’ve always had lots of questions. Do dogs have alphas? or is that a wolf thing? You often hear the term “alpha male,” but in nature aren’t alpha females just as common? What is the role of the alpha in a pack? Are dogs even looking for humans to be their alpha?
Fortunately we have renowned ethologist Dr. Marc Bekoff to answer all these questions and more for us. Though a self-proclaimed “terrible student,” Dr. Bekoff is a prolific writer, and his remarkable career often has him collaborating with the likes of Jane Goodall.
As a pet parent companion animal guardian, Dr. Bekoff makes me think about the type of relationship I want to have with my dogs and the type of human I want to be. (And also about some of the past blunders I’ve inadvertently made.)
From sniffing & playtime to navigating dog parks, Dr. Bekoff gives us practical ways to truly honor our dogs’ “dogness.”

We know that people can have different types of intelligence, but what about our dogs? I think every pet parent I know has been astonished by how smart their dog is – and usually in a good way.
Author Jennifer Holland explores the many different ways that dogs show their intelligence in her new book Dog Smart: Life Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence.
Jennifer interviewed everyone from scientists to dog trainers to pet parents to learn how dogs demonstrate their smarts. I was fascinated to learn about all the different types of working dogs – some of which I’d never heard of before!
But what does this mean for pet parents? Jennifer shares with us what she now does differently with her own dogs after everything she learned while writing Dog Smart. We also discuss the types of intelligence we’ve seen in our own dogs.
Jennifer may also have the most adventurous career I’ve ever heard of. While working on assignment for National Geographic, she did everything from swim with sharks to camp out amongst the Indigenous people of Papau New Guinea (and the mosquitos!).
While writing Dog Smart, Jennifer’s intrepid spirit shows when she dons a “bite suit” to be “attacked” by a law enforcement K-9 and again when led blindfolded through the streets of Manhattan by a guide dog-in-training.
(This was my dog Nessie’s first time being my in-person interview helper, so please excuse her kong-chewing and water bowl slurping in the background.)

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work with an animal communicator? This is Part 2 of our family’s session with animal communicator, Nancy Mello.
In just the past few days, we discovered another one of Nancy’s insights about Neno’s health is correct!
We’re jumping back into our session with Nancy where we connected with Neno, Nessie & Penny. After each segment from Nancy, Tim & I will share our reflections with you about what points resonated with us – or didn’t.
In Part 2, we’ll learn more about newly adopted Nessie – like her biggest fear and insights into the triggers of her reactivity. And about those chickens! During the session, Nancy recommended checking Nessie’s ears, and 5 days later Nessie was diagnosed with an ear infection.
At the end of the session, we also hear from Penny, our beloved gal who passed suddenly in 2023. We’ll hear what Penny knew about her health condition, what she thinks about Nessie joining our family and if she’s seen the portrait of her in our home.
Tim also shares his best advice for anyone interested in working with an animal communicator.

Happy 100th Episode!!
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work with an animal communicator? After connecting with Nancy Mello earlier this year, Tim & I decided to book a session with her to see if we could gain some insight into the lack of connection between our old man Neno and newly adopted Nessie.
I was grateful that Nancy allowed us to record the session so we could reference back to it, but it hadn’t been my original plan to share this.
During our session with Nancy, there were several points that didn’t resonate with us at the time. But over the following days and weeks, more of Nancy’s insights started to make sense. (In fact, Nancy recommended checking Nessie’s ears, and 5 days after our session Nessie was diagnosed with an ear infection!)
Tim & I decided to listen to our recorded session from start to finish and reflect on the statements that didn’t make sense at the time but later became a-ha! moments. So I thought I’d turn on the microphones and capture this for you as I wanted to do something special for the 100th episode – something that I’d never done before.
In Part 1, you’ll hear Neno and Nessie each share their side of a scuffle that happened in our living room. Then we check-in with Neno, both physically and emotionally. Tim & I will share our thoughts with you along the way.
Check the show notes for the exact photos and information that Nancy received prior to our session.

Did you know there are many reasons why a dog could be wearing a muzzle? I like to think that the presence of a muzzle isn’t the sign of a bad dog – but of a good pet parent!
While working with some of the UK’s most challenging dogs in rescue at Dogs Trust, Clara Hewson spent years advising pet parents on the benefits of training their dog to wear a muzzle.
But Clara had never experienced one of her own dogs needing to be muzzled in public – until she adopted Tolly. And Clara became shocked by the stigma she & Tolly began to experience.
So Clara took to social media with the goal to change public perception of dogs wearing a “face fence.” She created The Muzzle Movement, a community where pet parents are supported, encouraged and receive education (from one of the UK’s top dog trainers!).
When Clara found that she couldn’t find the “perfect” muzzle design – one that gave Tolly enough room to pant and receive treats – she decided she would create it herself. Now you can shop at The Muzzle Movement to find muzzles that are safe, secure and fun to accessorize.
Clara shares with us the exact steps to start muzzle training your dog. And it starts way before you even think about placing the muzzle on your dog! We also learn about a recent breed-specific law impacting the UK’s XL Bully dogs (aka pit bull dogs).

It feels like we’re finally at a time in society when pet loss grief is starting to be acknowledged and resources are becoming more readily available. But do we really know how to take care of ourselves and others in times of pet loss? Do you know how to give good grief?
We’re joined by Mindy Meiering, LCSW, a licensed therapist, life coach, and mindfulness teacher who specializes in grief and loss. Even though Mindy has supported thousands of clients and families through major losses and life transitions, she was blindsided by how devastated she felt after losing her first dog, Ellie.
Calling upon all the tools and resources she learned, Mindy created the Rainbow Bridge Pet Loss Deck to support pet parents grieving the loss of a beloved companion.
Mindy and I discuss the best self-care practices in times of our own loss as well as the best ways we can show up for our friends & family who are grieving. We also talk about unconventional types of loss including a lost pet, rehoming a pet and situations of behavioral euthanasia.
While many of us have heard of the Five Stages of Grief, a recent book examines the concept of a 6th stage of grief – finding meaning in your loss. Mindy and I examine ways we’ve found meaning in our own pet loss grief and how you can do this in your own life and in your own way.

In Part 2 with Chris Hannah (Dog Dad to Cole the Deaf Dog), I share my observation that not only is Cole a special dog, but that Chris is a special human to have the emotional bandwidth to hold space for the many people he encounters during their therapy work. Chris explains how Cole’s influence has shown him parts of himself that he didn’t know he had.
We discuss the powerful experience of volunteering at a hospice facility supporting patients and their families during the most difficult time. Chris reflects on some of the more memorable encounters with patients, as well as students that he & Cole have helped through difficult times – including the pandemic.
Chris reveals his hopes and plans for the future and also shares with us the incredible media opportunities and awards of recognition that he & Cole have received. From Good Morning America, Rachel Ray, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight and Lester Holt to being the first deaf dog to receive a Hero Dog Award. Oh Em Gee! (Ahem, *cough* Kelly Clarkson next?!)
But while this attention has been thrilling and surreal for Chris, it’s also come with a dark side – online harassment and bullying due to Cole’s breed. Chris tells the toll this has taken on him and the precautions he now must take.

Sometimes a dog comes along, and nothing is ever the same again – in the best way possible! In 2017, when Chris Hannah decided it was time to adopt a dog, he didn’t realize exactly how much of a life-changing of a decision this would be.
Chris shares with us why adopting a deaf dog was the obvious choice for him – even when it might sound like a surprising decision for a music teacher to make. And yes, Cole the Deaf Dog’s name was inspired by the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus (the deaf son of a music teacher).
From day one, Chris witnessed the impact Cole made on his students and everyone he meets. Learning about Cole’s disability opened an unexpected dialogue for children (and adults too!) that disabilities aren’t inabilities – and sometimes those qualities that make us different are our superpowers.
Cole’s presence in students’ lives even led Chris’ school to launch a unique emotional-social learning program. Chris and Cole also created a motivational school assembly program for other schools in their region.
In Part One of Chris and Cole’s story, we’ll also hear about the surprising challenges they faced for Cole to become a therapy dog and about their meaningful work with a Veterans’ Memorial Home.
Follow Chris & Cole on Facebook or Instagram to brighten up your day (like Cole bowling a strike!).

Today we’re talking to renowned trainer Deb Jones, Ph.D., about Cooperative Care - the most important skills you’re (probably) not training your dog to do! Also called Consent Care or Husbandry, I’m referring to the procedures needed to keep dogs healthy such as veterinary care and grooming.
If you’d rather get a root canal than take your dog to the vet or if you can’t trim your dog’s nails without needing a drink afterwards, then you won’t want to miss this conversation.
Deb is the author of the book Cooperative Care: Seven Steps to Stress-Free Husbandry (aff. link). Her methods encourage our dogs to become willing partners in the training process rather than using heavy-handed or forceful practices that can damage our relationship with our dog and hurt their trust.
Deb shares with us what she learned from dolphin trainers that will help our dogs, what to do if you accidentally “quick” your dog while trimming their nails and how to handle those times when your dog needs immediate care to avoid causing a setback in your training and relationship. We’ll also hear the #1 most common skill that veterinarians wish Pet Parents trained their dogs to do!
While Deb’s former “day job” was as a Ph.D. Psychologist who taught in colleges, it’s fascinating how her work intertwined with her dog training passion. And as someone who’s been training dogs for 30+ years, Deb has so much insight to share about her experiences in the dog training world and the changes she’s witnessed in how we treat dogs as a society.
You can also find Deb teaching online training classes and in her Cooperative Care with Deb Jones Facebook Group.
