The Dog Who Asked for More: Dog Training and Dog Behavior for Relief from Guilt, Burnout, and Self-Doubt

This isn't your typical dog training podcast.

You've done what everyone told you to do. You hired the dog trainers. You watched the videos. You bought the treats, the harness, the long line, maybe even several online courses. Yet somehow, you're still wondering why this feels so much harder than everyone else makes it seem.

This isn't a podcast about obedience. It's for anyone whose "good dog" turned out to be more complicated than that.

Listen and you'll learn how to:

- Understand your dog's behavior without shame or guesswork
- Build a calmer, more connected relationship through training, nutrition, and enrichment
- Feel less alone in the burnout, grief, and quiet exhaustion of loving a dog who needs more

I'm Em. Former vet tech, dog trainer, and canine nutritionist. Fitz washed out of service dog training and never added up the way training said he should, so I became the person I was looking for. Toby, 15, is teaching me what it means to stay present through the slow goodbye that comes with a senior dog.

Solo episodes, guest conversations, and real stories, three times a week, covering the dog side (behavior, reactivity, nutrition, enrichment, body language) and the human side (grief, burnout, and what it costs and gives you to love a dog like this).

Named Sniffspot's #1 Dog Training Podcast and ranked in the top 3% of podcasts globally.
