  • Practical Pet Chat - Episode 43 - Adventures Errands and Everyday Life - Socializing the Modern Dog

    Practical Pet Chat - Episode 43 - Adventures Errands and Everyday Life - Socializing the Modern Dog
    Nov 17 2025
    On this episode of Practical Pet Chat, Lorin and Rob dive deep into the true meaning of pet — and especially dog — socialization, breaking apart the common myths and misunderstandings that so many pet parents unknowingly rely on. While many believe socialization simply means taking your dog to the dog park, sending them to daycare, or making sure they can tolerate the vet, the reality is far more layered and vital. Today’s pets live incredibly dynamic lives. They join us for coffee runs, shopping trips, family gatherings, vacations, and outdoor adventures. Because our dogs are spending more time than ever in human-centered environments, proper socialization becomes one of the most powerful tools we have to help them feel confident, safe, and calm during everyday experiences. Lorin and Rob discuss how socialization isn’t about demanding perfect behavior from your dog — it’s about understanding how they are likely to react, what their body language is telling you, and how they interpret new environments, sounds, surfaces, and social encounters. It’s also about understanding how other animals and people feel in those shared spaces. When you know what your dog needs and what they’re communicating, you can guide them instead of correcting them, support them instead of overwhelming them, and ultimately create better experiences for everyone involved. The episode also dives into the emotional and humorous side of human–animal interactions. Rob shares that his dog absolutely loves getting ear rubs — and he humorously admits he enjoys them too — while Lorin asks listeners to imagine greeting humans the same way many greet dogs: with high-pitched enthusiasm, animated hands, and boundary-free energy. Their playful banter sheds light on how our intentions don’t always match what a pet is comfortable receiving, and why respectful, thoughtful social interaction matters. From helping your dog navigate crowded spaces to understanding triggers and stress signals, from supporting shy or nervous dogs to helping confident dogs behave appropriately, Lorin and Rob unpack the many ways socialization ties directly to health, safety, behavior, and overall wellness. Whether you’re raising a puppy, rehabilitating a rescue, or simply trying to help your social butterfly become even more polite in public, this episode offers practical insights, relatable stories, and real-world examples to guide you. Join us for this thoughtful, fun, and eye-opening exploration of socialization and so much more on this episode of Practical Pet Chat.

  • Practical Pet Business - Episode 35 - Discounts, Incentives, Knowing Your Worth and More...

    Practical Pet Business - Episode 35 - Discounts, Incentives, Knowing Your Worth and More...
    Nov 13 2025
    On this edition of Practical Pet Business, Lorin and Rob take a deep dive into one of the most common — and complicated — topics for pet business owners: discounts, incentives, expectations, and frustrations. Pet parents love a good deal, and in today’s competitive market, it can feel like you have to offer discounts just to stay in the game. But when every sale, service, or product comes with a markdown, what message does that send about your business? Lorin and Rob break down how constant discounting can shift customer expectations, devalue your expertise, and even train your audience to wait for the next sale rather than buy at full price. They also discuss how to identify when discounts make strategic sense — like rewarding loyalty, clearing seasonal stock, or promoting a new service — versus when they simply erode profits. Most importantly, they remind listeners that knowing your worth and communicating your value is far more powerful than competing on price alone. From understanding perceived value to crafting smarter incentives that build trust and long-term relationships, this episode offers practical, real-world advice to help you position your business for sustainable success. All of this and more on this insightful episode of Practical Pet Business.

    Practical Pet Chat - Episode 42- The Importance and Impact of Moderation in Most Things Pet
    Nov 9 2025
    On this episode of Practical Pet Chat, Lorin and Rob explore the essential role of moderation in your pet’s daily life—and why “more” is not always better. From nutrition and supplements to exercise, enrichment, training, and even affection, they break down how thoughtful balance can support long-term health and prevent many common issues before they begin. They discuss how easy it is, with the best of intentions, to overdo it: adding too many supplements, feeding too many treats, pushing too hard during exercise, or overstimulating with constant activities. Lorin and Rob highlight how these small habits can accumulate and influence your pet’s behavior, digestion, joint health, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. You’ll learn: Why moderation is a core principle of lasting wellness—not a restriction Signs that your pet may be getting too much of a good thing How to recognize when to pause, slow down, or adjust routines The impact of inconsistency and “all-or-nothing” approaches How balanced habits can support calmer behavior and healthier bodies Practical steps to reset routines without guilt or overwhelm Most importantly, Lorin and Rob share how practicing moderation leads to more intentional care, clearer communication, healthier expectations, and a deeper, more stable bond with your pet. Whether you’re a new pet parent, a seasoned multi-pet household, or a pet professional guiding others, this conversation reminds us that sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is simply to find the healthy middle ground. Tune in for insight, real-life examples, and small actionable adjustments that can make a big difference in your pet’s wellbeing.
