What if the path from drug dealing to military service to training over 6,000 dogs worldwide could teach you the one thing most dog owners get completely wrong? Ryan Matthews, former US Army combat canine handler and founder of World of Dog Training, reveals why your frustrated relationship with your dog isn't really about your dog at all. After surviving combat PTSD, cancer, and life-threatening injuries, Ryan discovered that the same leadership principles that kept him alive overseas are exactly what creates the calm, confident dogs every owner dreams of having. His anti-dog training approach flips traditional methods upside down, focusing on energy, mindset, and the uncomfortable truth about why dogs manipulate their humans.Ryan breaks down the two types of dogs every owner needs to recognize, why reward-based training often backfires, and his revolutionary pause method that transforms behavior in minutes instead of months. From his military working dog Rex to his current telepathic communication with Zeus, you'll discover how understanding your dog's energy and body language creates a relationship deeper than most people have with other humans. Whether you're struggling with a rescue dog's trauma or simply want to stop being outsmarted by your family pet, this conversation will shift how you see leadership, communication, and the incredible intelligence of the animals sharing our lives.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

I love any new tool that can make my life as a veterinarian easier and get better outcomes for my patients, so when I first heard about IDEXX's new CancerDx test I was excited, but I had questions! Like, how is a cancer screening test useful to my patients, how reliable is it, why can't I just use FNA, and how am I going to incorporate it into my workflows?In this episode I chat to oncologist Dr Sandra Nguyen to find out how she thinks about this test for her patients, and where it fits into our lives as general practitioners. We cover:A genuinely memorable way to finally keep sensitivity and specificity straight The advertised numbers for Cancer Dx, and how that compares to FNA cytologyThe two clinical scenarios where Dr Sandra finds it most useful: the vaguely "cancery" dog, and annual screening in at-risk breedsWhy you should keep those slides on the shelf when owners are undecided about chemoWhat to actually do with a positive result in a happy, healthy dogIf this is the kind of clinical content you want more of, our full library of case-based CE lives at ⁠https://thevetvault.com⁠.

Send us Fan MailA dog needs a pacemaker, the estimate is five figures, and the family's last lifeline is a GoFundMe link. We wanted to know what happens next when veterinary teams suggest crowdfunding as a way to cover the cost of canine pacemaker implantation and whether it truly works often enough to be responsible advice.We sit down with cardiologist and researcher Dr. Mark Rishniw to break down what he found by mining publicly available GoFundMe campaigns for dog pacemakers. We talk about how “success” gets defined, why reaching 80% of a target can still be a huge gap, and the uncomfortable headline: only a small slice of campaigns come close, while many never reach even half of what they ask for and some raise nothing at all. We also explore a pattern that changes the timeline for decision-making, with most donations arriving early and then fading fast.From there, we widen the lens to the rising cost of advanced veterinary procedures, the reality that some interventions now rival the price of a car, and what that means for client conversations when the choices feel like treatment or euthanasia. We also discuss where pet insurance fits, why “friends and family” may be the true engine of most fundraising, and how to set expectations without taking hope away.If you've ever wondered what to tell a client considering veterinary crowdfunding, this one will give you data and language you can use.

In this episode of the Animal Training Academy: Making Ripples podcast, host Shelly Wood sits down with Jimmy Maxwell—founder of Leap Canine Coaching—to explore the powerful intersection of human behavior, empathy, and science-based dog training. Jimmy shares his unexpected journey into the industry, which began not with dogs, but through years of youth ministry. He offers an honest account of growing up with a "traditional" view of dog training and the pivotal, eye-opening experience with his own chocolate Lab, Lambeau, that shifted his perspective toward reinforcement-based methods. Jimmy delves into his transition from Search and Rescue (SAR) to becoming a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, and how he now approaches behavior modification by prioritizing the human-canine bond above all else. Beyond the technical side of training, Jimmy opens up about the often-unspoken challenges trainers face, including compassion fatigue, the emotional weight of behavioral euthanasia, and the necessity of finding safe communities for support. He also shares his unique philosophy on building rapport with clients, emphasizing the importance of meeting people where they are—using his own ministry background and observation skills to translate complex behavior concepts into relatable, human-centered language. Together, Shelly and Jimmy explore: How early life experiences, both good and bad, shape our professional behavior philosophies. The "double-edged sword" of being an empathetic trainer and how to maintain healthy professional boundaries. Why the "people side" of dog training is often the most critical component of behavior change. Practical strategies for connecting with clients who may hold different views on training. The essential role of vulnerability and seeking support to avoid burnout in the industry. This episode is a candid exploration of what it means to be a "whole" trainer—one who cares deeply for the animals while also fostering real, compassionate connections with the people on the other end of the leash.

Many people view their dogs as more than just pets — they see them as family members. So when they bring them to the groomer, they want to be sure they're well cared for. And many dog owners are willing to pay a premium for that kind of certainty.Ricardo Azevedo is the CEO of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, America's largest premium pet brand. Since joining in 2022, Ricardo has led the company from 150 locations to more than 330, adding five to eight new stores every month.  Prior to Woof Gang, Azevedo held senior leadership roles at Restaurant Brands International, where he worked across iconic brands, including Tim Hortons and Burger King. Today, we talk to Ricardo about how his QSR experience translated to the pet space, what it takes to scale a franchise brand sustainably, and why the grooming industry is ripe for a dominant national player.Highlights:A decade at RBI (2:15)Inside Woof Gang (5:14)The white space in grooming (6:55)Footprint, growth, and real estate (9:48)Building the infrastructure (13:26)Restaurants vs. services (17:07)Selecting franchisees (18:38)Protecting brand standards (21:49)The pet industry today (23:49)Goals for ‘26 into ‘27 (27:38)Links:Ricardo Azevedo LinkedInWoof Gang LinkedInWoof Gang WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR WebsiteFeedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co

"Cancer" isn't a word anybody wants to hear, either from their doctor or from their vet. For many of us, that word brings with it a host of worries, fears, and uncertainties. It can be hard to know where to look for answers, especially when it comes to our pets- general veterinarians often lack in depth knowledge of cancer, while veterinary oncologists are few and far between. Dr. Erin Malone, a board certified veterinary oncologist, is working to try to change that through her innovative new telehealth service, which aims to provide pet owners with information and guidance about cancer, wherever they are in the country. She joined the show today to talk about canine cancers, their treatments, and where the field of veterinary oncology is headed.   For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog.

Send us Fan MailA splenic mass shows up on ultrasound and the question hits like a brick: benign or malignant? We go straight at the uncomfortable truth behind canine splenic cytology. Even when splenic FNA feels like the “do something now” step, the match between cytology and histopathology is only moderate, and that has consequences for how we advise families, schedule rechecks, and decide when splenectomy is the safest path.We talk with Drs. Janet Grimes and Matthew Aluisio about what their data means in the exam room: why a neoplastic cytology result tends to be more predictive than a non-neoplastic one, and why a benign aspirate does not rule out cancer. We unpack the spleen's built-in complexity, including extramedullary hematopoiesis, mixed cell populations, and the sampling problem of trying to summarize a large, heterogeneous lesion from a tiny needle sample. We also get specific about the diagnoses no one wants to miss, including hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma, and how tumor exfoliation and overlap with reactive processes can blur the picture.From there, we shift into action: when cytology is most useful, when serial ultrasound monitoring is a reasonable strategy for smaller, non-ruptured nodules, and when size and rupture risk should move the conversation toward surgery and definitive histopathology. We also dig into the “possibly neoplastic” gray zone and why calling your pathologist can be one of the most practical diagnostic tools you have.If you work up splenic masses in dogs and want clearer owner conversations, better monitoring plans, and fewer false reassurances, this one is for you.

When people talk about raw feeding, the conversation often begins - and ends - with pathogens.But what if that's causing us to overlook much bigger questions?In Part 2 of my conversation with veterinarian and canine nutrition researcher Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman of the University of Helsinki's independent research group, DogRisk, we explore what researchers are beginning to discover now that raw-fed dogs are finally being studied more closely.We dive into one of the most controversial topics in canine nutrition: food safety and pathogen risk. But we also look beyond the headlines to examine how risk is assessed, what the evidence actually shows, and whether our focus on acute hazards sometimes prevents us from investigating potential long-term health outcomes.From there, we explore some of the most fascinating questions emerging from fresh feeding research:• What benefits are researchers seeing repeatedly in fresh-fed dogs?• Are the advantages of fresh feeding linked to rawness itself, or simply reduced processing?• How should we think about the relationship between dogs, wolves, and diet?• Do dogs actually need plants?• Why does nutrient form matter as much as nutrient quantity?• What happens metabolically when dogs consume fresh foods versus ultra-processed diets?• Why might healthy fresh-fed dogs display different bloodwork values than conventionally fed dogs?This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation about evidence, curiosity, and the questions we may not have been asking.Whether you feed raw, gently cooked, kibble with fresh additions, or are simply curious about canine nutrition, this episode offers a fascinating look at what we're learning as research begins to catch up with practice.Connect with Dr Anna and the DogRisk team: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/dogrisk-health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogshttps://instagram.com/dogriskConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaI'd love to invite you to join my free Facebook community, The Nourished Pack.

What happens when a police canine is given just two weeks to live? For Chris Bingham, Tambo's cancer diagnosis became more than a fight for survival. It became a story of loyalty, hope, healing, and reconciliation. In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Chris Bingham, veteran law enforcement officer and handler to retired federal police K9 Tambo, for a powerful conversation about the bond between a handler and his canine partner. Tambo was once labeled difficult to bond with. But Chris saw something deeper in him—a reflection of his own story, his own wounds, and his own desire to be seen beyond the labels placed on him. After Tambo was diagnosed with aggressive terminal cancer and given about two weeks to live, Chris chose to fight for more time. What followed was a journey that inspired thousands, reached people facing cancer themselves, and unexpectedly helped Chris reconnect with his father before it was too late. This is a story about loyalty under pressure, the healing power of second chances, and the way one dog's fight became bigger than anyone could have imagined. ⭐ About Chris Bingham Chris Bingham is a veteran law enforcement officer, K9 handler, author, and advocate for retired police and military working dogs. His partnership with retired federal police K9 Tambo has become a powerful story of loyalty, resilience, and hope after Tambo was diagnosed with aggressive terminal cancer. Through Tambo's journey, Chris has inspired people across the country, including cancer patients and families facing their own difficult battles. He is also the author of the children's book Canine Tambo and is working on an adult memoir about his life, his K9 partners, and the reconciliation with his father.

Text Me Your QuestionsFireworks can turn the Fourth of July into a terrifying experience for many dogs. Trembling, hiding, pacing, excessive panting, drooling, escape attempts, and panic are not signs of stubbornness or disobedience.

You'll learn what happens inside the canine brain during fear and panic, why obedience training alone does not solve noise sensitivity, and how evidence-based behavior modification can help dogs feel safer and more confident.Will discusses the gold-standard behavior modification techniques of desensitization and counterconditioning, how to create a safe refuge room during fireworks events, common myths about fearful dogs, the role of veterinary behavioral medicine, and when professional help may be necessary.Topics Covered:• Fireworks anxiety in dogs• Noise phobia and sound sensitivity• Understanding the canine fear response• Desensitization and counterconditioning• Creating a safe room for fireworks season• Why punishment makes fear worse• Common myths about comforting fearful dogs• Veterinary behaviorists and behavioral medication• When to seek professional help• Evidence-based dog behavior modificationRead the complete guide:https://phoenixdogtraining.com/dogs-scared-of-fireworks/Need professional help?Will Bangura, M.S., CAB-ICB, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FDM, FFCP is a Certified Canine Behaviorist with more than 35 years of experience helping pet parents resolve dog aggression, anxiety, fears, phobias, reactivity, separation anxiety, and other serious behavior problems through science-based, force-free methods.Phoenix Dog Training:https://phoenixdogtraining.comDogBehaviorist.com:https://dogbehaviorist.comSchedule a behavior consultation:https://phoenixdogtraining.com/dog-behavior-consultations/Hosted by Will Bangura, Certified Canine Behaviorist and host of the Dog Training Today Podcast.Support the showIf you need professional help please visit my Dog Behaviorist website.Go here for Free Dog Training Articles

Do you know you can learn a secret power from dogs that will change your life? It is called extending loving energy without expectation. On this week's episode of Love University, we explore how dogs offer a simple but profound lesson in elevated human connection. They give affection freely, stay emotionally present, and express warmth without constantly calculating what they will receive in return. You can benefit greatly when you apply this kind of unconditional loving energy in your relationships, work, and everyday interactions. Here are three ways to utilize the dog love secret in your own life: Show Genuine Interest in Other People Dogs pay close attention to humans. They follow them, observe them, and stay emotionally engaged. Human beings often do the opposite, becoming trapped in self-consciousness and constantly thinking about their own worries, appearance, or needs. One of the most attractive qualities you can develop is the ability to display sincere interest in others. Ask people about their goals, passions, struggles, and dreams. Listen carefully instead of waiting for your turn to speak. When you focus on others with curiosity and empathy, people feel seen and appreciated. That emotional connection naturally draws them closer to you. Bring More Enthusiasm Into Daily Life Dogs greet life with enthusiasm. They play, explore, run, jump, and approach ordinary moments with excitement. Adults often lose that spirit through routine, stress, and emotional heaviness. Enthusiasm changes your emotional presence. This week, aim to be more playful and laugh more freely. Enjoy spontaneous moments and approach life with greater openness and less rigidity. People will be drawn to you when you radiate energy, warmth, and humor. Do Nice Things Without Keeping Score Dogs show affection naturally. They comfort people, stay close during difficult moments, and offer companionship without worrying about what they will receive back. Your relationships become more loving and joyful when you give in a similar spirit. You can have a tremendous emotional impact on others when you offer a kind word, listen empathetically without judgement, and help someone through a hard time. When you give from your genuine goodwill rather than hidden expectations, you strengthen both yourself and those you help. This creates more rewarding relationships, greater emotional peace, and a deeper sense of fulfillment. Start today. Apply the loving energy of the dog and learn the secrets of authentic connection.  Love without expectation and your world will be transformed
