Podcasts about Your Dog

On this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos talks about the concept of Play, Train & Exercise and why the best sessions with your dog combine all three together. Rather than separating walks, obedience and play into completely different activities, Panos explains how engagement, structure, rewards and movement can all work together naturally in everyday life. From structured walks and tug games to obedience around distractions and building functional communication, this episode explores how to create a more fulfilling relationship with your dog while still meeting their mental and physical needs.   Panos' book - The Nooch's Pooches Method: A Comprehensive Guide to Training and Living with Your Dog https://amzn.asia/d/f1wzLQK Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

In Episode 276, Panos and Luke sit down with Lisa Wray, who spent 16 years working and managing the shelter where Panos has volunteered for over a decade. Lisa shares what it really takes to run a high-functioning shelter—from building a tight-knit team to creating an environment where both staff and dogs can thrive. Her leadership played a key role in improving the welfare of the animals, proving that good people management directly impacts dog outcomes. Drawing from years on the ground, the conversation dives into the realities of shelter life: implementing training systems, understanding behaviour under stress, and balancing structure with compassion. Panos reflects on his 10+ years working alongside Lisa as a volunteer trainer, supporting staff and volunteers in handling and training resident dogs. This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone interested in dog behaviour, shelter work, or what it truly means to lead from the front.

The Outer Realm welcomes the return of Eira Wulfnothsson Date: April 30th, 2026 EP: 713 TOPIC: Eira is a wealth of knowledge, and tonight we will be having a discussion about Mirrors. Ancient civilizations around the world, for centuries at the very least, have always have held a belief that mirrors could Trap the Soul, Create Portals and Gateway to other realms, to which Demons or other Ethereal Beings could travel through. Even the Victorians would cover their mirrors when a loved one passed, in order to not confuse the Soul. Tonight we discuss this and much more ! Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Michelle Desrochers and The Outer Realm :https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Eira: Eira was a practicing occultist for over four decades. Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos. Eira's youtube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” And, “Dominicanus; You, Your Dog and Heaven.” Eira's YouTube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” • The Devil's Mistake is a dissertation on Evil and Magicka; their ancient origins, how they are at work in the world and how to inoculate yourself against them. The work is written through the eyes of a life-long practicing occultist who became a devoted Roman Catholic after a mystical experience with Mary, Mother of God. Within the manuscript the author illuminates a vast array of metaphysical topics based on her classical occult education in order to assist Christians in identifying the many occult rituals worked against them via the media, political and public ceremonies, as well as staged catastrophic events. These “rituals,” or operations within a system of Magicka, are performed in order to blind, influence and control humanity; clarity is given to the elite Luciferian mind and agenda. Also, readers will learn the crucial reason their consent is always required when evil is worked against them, what that looks like, and the “who” that requires it and “why.” The author also addresses the ever-changing UFO/UAP narrative demonstrating that this phenomenon identifies more as classical fallen angel activity than advanced terrestrial or alleged extraterrestrial technology. Readers will also be given understanding regarding “places of power” used since the beginning of time by ancient magicians and sorcerers to bring “these gods” (fallen angels) into our world physically and why 100 percent of our world-wide sacred sites are built upon them based on both the physical and metaphysical sciences.

It also speaks to the fact that we are divinely ordered by God to care for all animals and never allow them to suffer.

Most dog owners are accidentally reinforcing bad behaviour on every walk. In this episode, Panos breaks down the biggest mistake - putting the walk on autopilot. Pulling, scanning, and ignoring you all get rehearsed daily without realising. Walks aren't just exercise - they're training. Learn how small changes in structure and intention can completely change your dog's behaviour.   Panos' book - The Nooch's Pooches Method: A Comprehensive Guide to Training and Living with Your Dog https://amzn.asia/d/f1wzLQK Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

What if your dog's anxiety, fear, or reactivity isn't something to fix, but something to listen to?In this powerful and thought-provoking episode I am joined by expert dog trainer, behaviour consultant, and certified trauma professional, Dr. Laura Donaldson, to explore Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - also known as tapping - and its potential to support deep emotional healing in both humans and dogs.Blending science, somatics, and the unseen bond between species, this conversation invites you to consider a different approach to behaviour - one rooted not in control or correction, but in nervous system regulation, safety, and connection.Together, we explore what's really happening beneath the surface of common behavioural challenges, and why so many dogs (and their guardians) remain stuck despite doing “everything right.”You'll learn how tapping on acupressure points can influence the body's stress response, how trauma is stored and processed in the nervous system, and why emerging research around memory reconsolidation is shifting the way we understand healing.Through the lens of surrogate tapping, we explore the how working on your own emotional state can create meaningful shifts in your dog - not through force, but through the deep, often invisible connection you share.In This Episode, We Cover:What Clinical EFT (tapping) is and how it worksThe science: neurobiology, stress response & memory reconsolidationHow dogs experience trauma and emotional stressWhy some behavioural issues don't resolve with training aloneSurrogate tapping: can working on yourself help your dog?The human–dog emotional connection (mirror neurons, resonance & beyond)Consent, safety, and ethical considerations in healing work with dogsMoving beyond “fixing” into true co-regulation and relationshipAt its heart, this is a conversation about relationship, and about learning to meet your dog not as a problem to solve, but as a sentient being with their own nervous system, their own story, and their own path.And perhaps, as a mirror, guide, or invitation into your own healing, too.If you've ever felt that your dog is reflecting something back to you, if you're curious about the connection between your emotional world and theirs, or if you're searching for a more compassionate, holistic way to support your dog - this episode will open something up in you.Connect & ShareIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow dog mama who might need to hear it

What if the future of dog care isn't about better obedience…but about deeper safety?In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Dr Laura Donaldson and Annie Phenix to explore their new course, Transformation and Healing: New Paradigms for You and Your Dog - and the larger shift happening in the world of canine care.We begin by honouring the late Sarah Fisher, whose work invited us to learn from our dogs rather than simply lead or manage them. Her legacy threads through this entire conversation.This episode challenges the long-held paradigm of compliance in our relationships with dogs. Instead of focusing on obedience and suppression of behaviour, we explore what becomes possible when we centre:Deep safetyEmotional wellbeingAgencyResilienceTrustSocial supportWe discuss what it means to become trauma-informed in our approach, and why that shift is transformative, not additive.We explore:✨ Why compliance has shaped traditional dog training - and why it's time to question it✨ Dogs as somatic beings (and how we've forgotten that we are too)✨ The intelligence and wisdom of all life forms - and dismantling the “humans at the top” worldview✨ Getting curious about behaviour instead of correcting it✨ The links between pain, nutrition, and behaviour✨ The power of a collaborative care team (vet, behaviour professional, nutrition consultant)✨ Becoming your dog's advocate - and how that often becomes the path to advocating for yourselfWe also speak to something many of us feel but rarely name:Your dog may be your greatest teacher.Your “difficult” dog may be your healer in disguise.At the heart of this conversation is love - the kind that truly witnesses. The kind that listens. The kind that believes healing is possible.Because we can heal from trauma.And so can our dogs.And how embodied, courageous kindness is what moves us forward.If you've ever felt there must be another way to be with your dog, then this episode is for you.Join Dr Laura's and Annie's course, Transformation & Healing: New Paradigms for Our Lives With Dogs, here:⁠https://laura-s-school-1f3f.thinkific.com/courses/transformationhealing?fbclid=IwY2xjawQAV3lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETJqQzdOVUcyOXdIeVdqeDlqc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHg6HnXe2NeStkigpItMingJ2som3QK1q4b0pJ6ON7I0dCHT2xJ_SBOkZojfb_aem_x3TJVAo1bWFCVqDgbLRE4Q⁠Join Annie's free group The Canine Trauma Clinic here: ⁠https://community.caninetraumaclinic.com/invitation?code=G6686B⁠Connect with me!Website: ⁠https://mysticdogmama.com⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com⁠/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   The first two weeks with your puppy are when what you grow is what you get. In these early days, everyday choices shape how your puppy learns, rests, and stays engaged long before cues are added. In this episode, I share a real-life puppy story to show how well-intended decisions can accidentally grow behaviors you weren't aiming to teach, and why raising a puppy with the future in mind supports clarity, confidence, and the relationship you're building as your puppy develops.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • How small, everyday choices can accidentally grow puppy behaviors you don't want to see.  • A real-life puppy story that highlights common early choices. • Two critical lessons for new puppy owners. • Why management is proactive, not restrictive. • What early crate, sleep, and management choices are really teaching. • Why positive training is not permissive training. • What good leadership looks like with a puppy. • How off-leash freedom too soon can lead to disengagement. • Why a puppy's name should be protected and meaningful. • Why naming behaviors too early can create confusion. • Why behaviors should be conditioned before cues are added. • How cues lose clarity when used as praise. • What it means to raise a puppy using a long-term lens. • How Recallers games support focus, engagement, and early learning.   Make Good Decisions Today With The Future In Mind, Start Playing The Recaller Games Join Recallers - https://recallers.com/special-opportunity/   Get Crate Games Online: Crate Games Online - https://get.crategames.com/   Resources:   1.

Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory.

You've probably tried every trick in the book to stop your dog from pulling on the leash... Maybe you've switched collars three times, bought a "no-pull" harness, or even considered giving up on walks altogether...making you feel like you're the only owner who can't control their dog on a simple walk. However, that's not the case at all.We've developed a proven 5-phase system that transforms even the worst leash pullers into well-behaved walking partners.Today we're breaking down the exact progression from my new book "The Ultimate Leash Training Manual" that's helped thousands of dogs master loose leash walking.Recommended Training Equipment:

While everyone's talking about crushing goals and using willpower to achieve more, let's talk about what you're really after. And a completely different way to get there.Here's the truth most people miss: your goals aren't really about the goal itself.  What you're actually seeking is a feeling.Maybe it's competency, creativity, deep connection with your animal, or a sense of freedom. But somewhere along the path to achievement, many people abandon these very feelings in favor of force, dominance, and willpower.We'll explore why the methods you use to achieve goals matter just as much as the goals themselves, and how you can pursue what you want through ease, connection, and integrity instead of force.In this episode, you'll discover why visualizing the process rather than just the outcome creates better results and actually prepares your brain for success.As you move into 2026, ask yourself: "How does this feel?" That simple question might change everything.Resources:Grab your FREE video training to help your dog.

REPLAY:   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.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend (and Bentley's trainer) Gia Savocchi, a dog behavior expert and the creator behind Thinking Canine. Gia shares how she went from New York dog trainer to buying an estate in Portugal, why she does things because they scare her, and what every dog guardian needs to know about reactivity, medication, and finding an ethical trainer. If you've ever wondered whether your dog is “too much” or felt a pull toward a big, scary life decision… this conversation is going to land right in your heart. In this episode, we talk about: How Gia built a globally known positive reinforcement dog training brand online The truth about reactive and anxious dogs (and what the early warning signs really are) Why fear-based aggression is often rooted in pain, anxiety, or both What changed for Bentley (my Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua) once we understood his pain + anxiety and got him medical support Why medication isn't “drugging your dog” and how it can actually help them feel more like themselves How to find a qualified, ethical trainer (and red flags to watch for) The real cost of e-collar training from a nervous system + behavior perspective Gia's story of buying an estate in Portugal, moving her 5 animals, and redesigning her life from the ground up How Gia knows when a decision is right—even when it makes zero logical sense on paper The power of doing things scared and choosing the life you actually want, not the one you're “supposed” to live Listen to this episode if… You have a dog who's anxious, “on alert,” or reactive—and you want to help them feel safe You're curious about meds, rehab, and behavior support, but don't know where to start You value nervous system–friendly, positive reinforcement training You're standing at the edge of a big life decision and need a model for brave, intuitive self-trust You're craving a life with more connection, freedom, and alignment… and you're ready to take the next step Free Gift from Gia Grab Gia's free e-book: “10 Tips for Building a Healthy Relationship with Your Dog” — a quick guide to help you build a more cooperative, connected relationship with your pup.

What happens when the bond between a K9 handler and his retired working dog is tested by something no training can prepare them for? In this episode, federal law enforcement officer Chris Bingham shares the powerful, behind-the-scenes story of his retired K9 partner, Tambo — a dog who served with unwavering loyalty and is now facing one of the toughest battles a family can experience: hemangiosarcoma, a fast-moving and often terminal diagnosis in dogs. Chris describes how he and Tambo first became partners, how their bond deepened over years of working side by side, and what it really looks like to help a working dog transition into retirement after a lifetime of service. But what makes Chris and Tambo's story especially compelling is how they've chosen to respond to hardship. Rather than turning inward, they've become a source of strength and encouragement for others — offering support to both dogs and humans facing life-altering health challenges. Their journey also highlights the critical role organizations like Project K9 Hero play in supporting retired working dogs who no longer have funding for their care.  This episode offers an intimate and honest look at the loyalty, responsibility, and deep connection between a handler and his dog. It's a story of resilience in the face of devastating news, of a working dog's enduring legacy, and of the unexpected ways humans and animals continue to lift one another up through the hardest chapters of life.

Why are so many dogs today anxious, reactive, or struggling with behavior issues? In this episode, I'm joined by Kim Brophey, Applied Ethologist, Dog Behavior Expert and creator of the groundbreaking LEGS Framework and Family Dog Mediation Center, to explore the root causes behind dog behavior challenges — including anxiety and reactivity. When we step back and look at dogs through a wider, more compassionate lens, it becomes painfully clear how often our modern expectations clash with who our dogs actually are and what they truly need to thrive. Through Kim's LEGS framework – Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self – we unpack how each element affects a dog's behavior and how pet parents can begin making small but meaningful changes that honor who their dog truly is. I'll even share what this has looked like in my own life with my own dogs. Whether you're a pet parent, rescuer, shelter volunteer or trainer, this conversation may change the way you see dogs – and remind you just how much power we have to improve their lives by understanding who they are.

In this essential training breakdown, Ed Frawley explains the five progressive Rules of Play that transform tug from chaotic wrestling into a powerful obedience and engagement tool. These rules must be taught in order: first, building genuine desire for the toy by sparking prey and play drive; second, teaching the retrieve so the dog learns that bringing the toy back continues the game rather than ending it; third, adding the "out" command at the right developmental stage to avoid suppressing drive; fourth, introducing impulse control so the dog waits for permission before grabbing; and fifth, finding the perfect balance based on the dog's individual temperament—dominant dogs need stricter structure while sensitive dogs require more freedom to build confidence. Ed emphasizes that intensity of play must be adjusted to each dog's personality: possessive dogs get shorter wins to prevent over-possession, while less intense dogs benefit from longer, more active sessions to build drive. When all five rules work in harmony, tug becomes far more than just play—it creates a dog who is motivated, responsive, and sees the handler as the ultimate source of reward and fun. | Links mentioned: The Power of Playing with Your Dog: https://leerburg.com/221.htm | The Power of Training Dog with Markers: https://leerburg.com/marker-dvd.php

When the world feels heavy — or your dog's health or behavior challenges have you running on empty — how do you find your calm again? This episode is your reminder that your dog doesn't need you to be perfect; they need you to be present. We're rethinking self-care as something deeper than bubble baths and timeouts — it's an energetic reset that helps both you and your dog feel more grounded and connected.

Beyond The Outer Realm Special Feature Michelle Welcomes Very Special Guest Eira Wulfnothsson Date: October 28th, 2025 EP: 633 TOPIC: The Rescued Becomes The Rescuer- Eira Wulfnothsson joins me to discuss her incredible journey - Born into a Luciferian World, decades long Occult Practitioner. Her path changed after an amazing Experience with The Blessed Mother. She is now in service to Christ! Christ as a Spiritual Warrior. This is truly a story which needs to be told! Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com About Eira Wulfnothsson - Eira was a practicing occultist for over four decades. Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos. Eira's YouTube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” - The Devil's Mistake is a dissertation on Evil and Magicka; their ancient origins, how they are at work in the world and how to inoculate yourself against them. The work is written through the eyes of a life-long practicing occultist who became a devoted Roman Catholic after a mystical experience with Mary, Mother of God. Within the manuscript the author illuminates a vast array of metaphysical topics based on her classical occult education in order to assist Christians in identifying the many occult rituals worked against them via the media, political and public ceremonies, as well as staged catastrophic events. These “rituals,” or operations within a system of Magicka, are performed in order to blind, influence and control humanity; clarity is given to the elite Luciferian mind and agenda. Also, readers will learn the crucial reason their consent is always required when evil is worked against them, what that looks like, and the “who” that requires it and “why.” The author also addresses the ever-changing UFO/UAP narrative demonstrating that this phenomenon identifies more as classical fallen angel activity than advanced terrestrial or alleged extraterrestrial technology. Readers will also be given understanding regarding “places of power” used since the beginning of time by ancient magicians and sorcerers to bring “these gods” (fallen angels) into our world physically and why 100 percent of our world-wide sacred sites are built upon them based on both the physical and metaphysical sciences. Lastly, readers will come to understand how God is always at work to counter these evils, why He sometimes allows them, and how we've been called to assist Him within this great battle of good versus evil. A battle, in fact, that was already won over two thousand years ago.

On this episode of SPEAK! A Dogcast, we learn about improving Socialization Skills for Your Dog. We also have a sweet segment for Training Your Pets for Halloween. Then comes the Listener Q&A! You're in for a real treat! Happy Halloween!

What if “senior” didn't mean the end—but the beginning of a whole new chapter with your dog? Today we're joined by Helen St. Pierre, dog trainer and founder of Old Dogs Go to Helen Rescue. What started as a way to help dogs get adopted through training turned into a lifelong passion for giving senior dogs the love, dignity and care they deserve. Helen reminds us that senior does not mean the end — our older dogs can still live full, joyful lives (and yes, even learn new tricks!). We talk about how to recognize important senior dog behavior changes, shifts in tolerance toward children or other dogs, and physical signs that tell us it's time to adjust care. Helen also shares practical, compassionate tips for making home adjustments for senior dogs—from mobility support to creating safer spaces—so our pets stay comfortable as they age. And when it's time to face difficult decisions, Helen walks us through her three-pronged quality of life scale and what she calls “quality of death,” helping us advocate for our dog at the vet office and approach medical decisions with clarity and love. Whether you share your life with a senior dog now or want to be ready for the golden years ahead, Helen's guidance will help ensure your dog ages gracefully.   Find links & show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode131   Did you get the Pet Parent "Gut Check" yet?

What happens when one woman believes so deeply in the power of dogs to change lives that she builds a program to prove it — and keeps it alive even after the state stops funding it? Content Note: In this episode, there are mentions of child abuse and neglect and a juvenile case involving murder and the death of a dog. These topics are discussed only in passing, but we recognize they may be sensitive for some listeners. In this episode, we'll meet Joan Dalton, author of the book Second Chances: The Transformative Relationship Between Incarcerated Youth and Shelter Dogs.  Joan is the founder of Project POOCH, a program pairing teens in juvenile detention with shelter dogs. What started as an idea grew into a transformative program that not only rehabilitates dogs in need of homes but also teaches young people the skills and compassion they need to heal and move forward. Joan & I discuss how the program began, the life-changing impacts she's witnessed and the resilience it took to keep the program going when funding was pulled.  From trauma to trust, you'll hear how Project POOCH creates powerful paths to healing, empathy and redemption — for both humans and animals. Juvenile justice is something we should all care about, because these youths will return to society as adults. We have an opportunity — and a responsibility — to help them grow into contributing members of society. When we give people and animals the tools to heal, the results can transform lives and communities.   Find links & show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode130 Did you get the Pet Parent "Gut Check" yet?

Chad Orzel is a physicist and science writer who has been blogging for nearly twenty-five years. He's the author of four books, Breakfast with Einstein: The Exotic Physics of Everyday Objects, How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist and A Brief History of Timekeeping. The last is a mix of cultural and engineering history, archeology and physics, and reflects Orzel's wide interests as reflected in his Substack, Counting Atoms. In this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib surveys the state of physics communication and science, as well as our broader culture's relationship with academia. Orzel and Razib first discuss the massive success of physicist-turned-YouTuber Sabine Hossenfelder. Emerging from academic physics and associated with Lee Smolin and the Perimeter Institute, Hossenfelder has shifted from skepticism of mainstream theories like string theory to arguing that academic science as a whole must be restructured. Orzel also notes that contrarian or heterodox views in popular areas such as astrophysics and particle physics receive much more attention than applied fields like solid-state physics. Razib and Orzel reflect on how science communication has changed over the past two decades, moving from the text-driven blog era before 2010 to the rise of podcasts and video. They also discuss the many technological applications of physics in the 21st century, particularly in battery technology, an area that is transforming daily life but rarely serves as fodder for glossy popular-press treatments. In the second half of the podcast, Orzel considers how science, and academia more broadly, have navigated the adversarial stance of the Trump administration. Razib asks whether institutional science, shaped in the post–World War II era, may be due for a major transformation, or whether it is even approaching the end of its line. Finally, Orzel addresses whether academics can regain broad public trust in the wake of the extreme politicization of the 2010s.

What would you do if buying your dream home meant giving up your dog? In 2018, Cait Conroy and her husband were forced to confront Prince George's County, Maryland's decades-old “pit bull” breed ban when it threatened their beloved Poptart. That experience sparked Cait's ongoing advocacy — not just for her own dog, but for all dogs and pet parents impacted by this harmful law. In this episode, Cait and Ilona from the PG Pet Unity Project share the shocking history of why “pit bull” dogs were banned in PG County in the 1990s — and the deeper consequences this law has had on families, the animal welfare system and the dogs. From wasted taxpayer dollars to ineffective public safety outcomes, we dig into why breed-specific legislation fails families, communities and dogs. But there's hope: we'll talk about recently proposed Pit Bull Pilot Program, why momentum is growing to finally overturn the BSL now, and what it would mean for Maryland to leave this discriminatory policy behind.   Find links & show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode129   Did you get the Pet Parent "Gut Check" yet?

Has your dog played the sniffy game yet today? Today we're joined by Dianna Santos, founder of Scent Work University, to explore one of the most powerful — and fun — activities you can do with your dog: scent work. Whether you've heard it called nose work or scent work, this enriching game taps into your dog's natural superpower — their incredible sense of smell. We'll dive into why scent work is especially beneficial for reactive and fearful dogs, including how it has helped my own nervous senior guy. Dianna explains how scent work provides the kind of mental stimulation that can actually tire dogs out faster than physical exercise, making it a great option for any lifestyle. You'll also learn simple ways to get started at home with easy games, plus tips for introducing scent work to puppies, seniors, and even dogs with special needs. Whether you're curious about enriching your dog's daily life, looking for ways to support a reactive pup, or simply want a fun new activity to strengthen your bond, this episode will show you how scent work can transform your relationship with your dog — and why it's the most important game you're not playing yet.

Did you set goals for you & your dog this year? Back in February, I shared the goals I set for myself & my dogs in 2025 — and now that we're a little more than halfway through the year, it's time for a check-in! I'm sharing our progress (and setbacks!) not just to update you, but for my own accountability. In this solo episode, you'll hear: ·       Where we're at with each of the goals I set at the start of the year; ·       The big thing we accomplished that wasn't on the list; ·       What I've taken off our 2025 Goals list — and why; and ·       The updated plan for the rest of the year. Whether your dog goals involve training, sports, adventures, or simply enjoying more time together, I hope this inspires you to pause, reflect, and celebrate your progress — even if your year looks different than you planned.   Find links and show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode127   Did you get the Pet Parent "Gut Check" yet?

Dr. Chad Orzel is the R. Gordon Gould Associate Professor of Physics at Union College. He is also author of the popular science books How to Teach Physics to Your Dog, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist, and the soon-to-be-released book Breakfast with Einstein: The Exotic Physics of Everyday Objects. In addition, Chad regularly contributes blog articles for Forbes Magazine. Chad studies ultracold atoms to improve our understanding of atomic physics. He uses lasers to drop the temperature of samples of atoms to just millionths or billionths of a degree above absolute zero. At these very cold temperatures, the atoms move very slowly, and interesting quantum effects arise. Free time can be hard to find with two kids and a puppy at home, but Chad enjoys hanging out with his family, reading science fiction and fantasy books, and playing basketball when he has the chance. He received his B.A. in Physics from Williams College and his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Maryland. Before joining the faculty at Union College, Chad conducted postdoctoral research in the Physics Department at Yale University. In our interview, Chad shared his experiences from his life and science.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Can you really stop a dog from chasing deer or anything else without an e-collar? Yes, and I'm sharing how. There's an ongoing commentary that it's impossible to train certain dogs, especially those with high prey drive, to come when called using only reinforcement-based methods. Now, those of us who are reinforcement-based trainers know that it's absolutely possible. The secret lies in understanding the Canine Predatory Motor Sequence. Rather than trying to stop dogs at the end of the sequence when it's way too late, we focus on the early stages and what we want our dogs to do.    In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why some say reinforcement-based training alone can't stop high prey drive dogs. • How the canine predatory motor sequence works and why it matters for your dog's behavior • Why suppressing behavior isn't training, and what I do instead. • The three common ways people deal with behavior problems and which one really works. • How I use predatory redirection to interrupt chase drive. • A real-life example of Prophet ignoring deer just 15 feet away. • How we changed Tater Salad's behavior using relationship-building games. • Special opportunity to join my Home School the Dog program. • Why head halters can act like emergency brakes when you need them. • How I redirect Kim's rescue dog Waffles from distractions to focus back to me and what you can take away from it.   Join Home School the Dog: To join Home School the Dog at a special discount, write to us at wag@dogsthat.com with the subject line: Prey Drive Learn To Play ItsYerChoice: Learn how to play the ItsYerChoice (IYC) Game - https://recallers.com/iycsummit-join/ Hand Target and More Foundational Games Get the Hand Target Game and more foundational training games in our free Connected Dog Season of Nuance Video Series running for a limited time - https://learn.doggyflix.com/   Resources:   1.
