Jenn & Meshki ,

A gold nugget in every episode

This is a terrific series….i have listened to all the episodes and I have had an “Aha!” Moment in each one whether the topic was specific to our current rescue (reactivity - though I now prefer to say that we are working on her approach to other dogs when on leash) or not. Tom explains why our dogs behave the way they do, not just what to do to ‘fix’ it. Understanding the ‘why’ makes all the difference.

Podcast 4 - dog to dog

Why has this information not been available before? Dr. Tom lays out what to expect when your dog meets another dog and for first time owners, this is INVALUABLE! But he does more than that and also breaks down if things go wrong and gives you ideas what to do. Beyond grateful that he’s put this together in an easy to understand and actionable lesson!

Love it

I absolutely LOVE the episode. Love your enthousiasm and the teaching so much. Love the part that people share their experience with their NBN dogs.
