Pleasing to listen to with hidden information gems

I have just finished listening to the first episodes. There are several dog podcasts out there and still I find there is something new you can get from each one.
As an example, the first episode of Renee's podcast talks about "gear", but then hidden in there is a tip on loose leash walking. So many dog guardians (a term I love and might steel from host Renee) struggle with how to make clear when the dog has the "sniff-ok" and when he or she is supposed to follow along more closely. Bamm, her tip, double-clip your training leash to the harness so it becomes shorter to signal close following is required, and single-clip it, leaving it longer signalling your dog roaming more is ok.
It's little things like that are sprinkled throughout that you can get from the podcast and that already makes it worth it. If I can take away just one thing from each podcast like that, then it's a win for me.
I'll be curious to see what further episodes are going to bring as she starts addressing listener questions.
