  • 99 | Lead with Trust, Not Treats
    May 12 2025

    🐾 Hey there, Dog Lover,

    If you’ve ever felt like your relationship with your dog revolves around treats, you’re not alone.
    The truth is, treats can buy attention... but they can’t build a relationship.

    In today’s episode, we're diving into what it really means to lead with trust—not treats.
    We’ll talk about why real leadership isn’t about transactions or constant reinforcement, but about becoming the calm, steady, trustworthy presence your dog can depend on—no cookie needed. 🚫🍪

    Hope you enjoy this one!
    Be sure to share it with your dog-loving friends. 🐾

    Cheers!
    Tracy

  • 98 | Your Fearful Dog Doesn't Have to Like You
    May 8 2025

    🐾 Hey there, Dog Lover,

    We all want our dogs to like us—it's only natural.
    But when you're working with a fearful or reactive dog, likeability isn't the goal. Trust is.

    In today’s episode, we’re digging into the hidden trap of trying to "win" your dog's affection—and why focusing on being trusted instead of liked changes everything.
    We'll explore what real leadership looks like (hint: it's not about bribery or constant cheerleading) and how you can start showing up as the steady, calm, trustworthy presence your dog actually needs.

    And yes... we're having a little fun with a classic "Pick Me, Choose Me" reference from Grey’s Anatomy too. 😉🐾

    Hope you enjoy this one!
    Be sure to share it with your dog-loving friends who might need a little reminder that they’re already enough. 💜

    Cheers!

    Tracy

Great podcast, informative and interesting for dog lovers

First of all I can't believe there are no reviews for this amazing podcast here om audible yet.

I'm hooked I find Tracy both easy to listen to, interesting and very informative. I've lived around dogs my whole life and a lot of things are clicking and making sense now.

After learning about pro-social behavior I would love to hear an episode on how to teach a puppy/dog that no means no when another animal tries telling them in a way that doesn't endanger them by letting them sort it out themselves.
