What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Absolutely love this podcast! The hosts are knowledgeable and provide great insight. There’s so so much helpful information shared in each episode. I also really appreciate the range of various topics discussed in this podcast. Some episodes that focused on topics which I initially didn’t think I’d be particularly interested in, ended up being my favorite! Love the format and discussions.🐾 Really enjoyable to listen to!

As a new dog owner of a sweet pup with SA, I have felt anxious myself about how to help our dog and get our family’s life back to a normal routine. Beth clearly explains the importance of treating and helping our dogs work through the original fear and emotion behind SA rather than just “fixing” the undesirable behaviors. She gives great examples to liken SA to human experiences, which better equipped my husband and I to understand what our dog was experiencing. Lastly, she does a wonderful job of breaking down each “myth” of helping dogs with SA- with so much information on the internet, it was so helpful to hear truth from a trusted source! What an amazing episode. Also amazing practical tips to start the work of desensitizing under threshold.

Informative and interesting listening for any dog lover, and anyone who wants to rescue a dog. Although I've always had dogs, I learned so much from this podcast.
