What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the podcast and there are lots of informational episodes that I refer back to and are extremely valuable. I look forward to listening every Monday and it’s part of my weekly podcast rotation. Unfortunately, there are some gross takes particularly around policing women and children’s bodies in the more recent episodes and I think the host and those speakers need to take a hard look at their views.

Mountainpoodle · Apr 2024

Always interesting and covering a wide array of topics with knowledgeable and iconic guests

Nakoacairns · Mar 2024

I really enjoy this podcast and the facts and guests. It’s always fascinating and an excellent learning tool. I do wish the host would consider not talking over her guests so much. I know she is excited about the points they are making and wants to share her insights or how she does things, but I find it rather rude and really distracting to the points her guests are making. But keep bringing the amazing content about different breeds and health issues! It is much appreciated.

ProfJava · Jan 2024

There is a plethora of information at your fingertips with this podcast! So many tips, tricks, and important discussions about structure and temperament… such wonderful guests who are so very knowledgeable about everything that is DOG. 🥰
