    S5 EP07: Sarah Bot; The Force-free Trainer in My Pocket

    Two months ago, I handed Kenji over to a robot. Not quite — but close. Our force-free fur-end Sarah Rutten from The Canine Perspective is back on the PUGCAST, and this time she’s built something rather clever: an AI training app with twenty-plus years of her own experience, her book and her courses sitting in the back end. Not ChatGPT. Not the internet’s greatest hits. Just Sarah, in your pocket. So I gave it a go. Kenji was resource guarding at meal times, having a go at poor Buster over a bowl that wasn’t even on the floor yet, and had suddenly decided big dogs were the enemy. Two months on, we have a calm dinner routine, a bowl with a penthouse view, a foster brother who eats in the pantry in peace, and a pug who now rolls over and asks his dad for a belly rub. We talk about what the app actually does, what it costs, the day when it threw out the plan and built a new one because Kenji has a dental procedure, and the car win I completely fluked. Plus, an exclusive — Sarah reveals the title of her second book, and you Puggies are the very first to hear it. 🐾 Full disclosure, Puggies: I paid for this app myself because I believe in supporting small businesses like mine.

    S5 EP06: Livin' the Good Life at Saffron Farm

    No studio today. No quiet room. Today, the PUGCAST hits the road. A working farm. Fifteen rescue dogs. Horses. Alpacas. Goats. One pig. And me, right in the middle of it all. For the first time ever, The Pug Life Show was recorded in situ at Saffron on the Hill — with founder Kaz, volunteer Krys, and the entire Saffron grumble providing the sound effects. We talk puppy farm survivors. Forever fosters. Seventeen-year-old barkday pugs. And what it really costs to give these fur-babies and their friends their best life. Grab a cuppa, snuggle your floof ball, and come to the farm with us. This is The Pug Life Show — farm edition. WANT TO LEARN MORE?

    S5 EP05: One Small Step for PD, One Giant Leap for Pugkind

    🐾 Houston, we have a pug. Six books in and PD the Pug has officially left the atmosphere — and honestly, the universe was NOT prepared. In his latest adventure ‘Space Cadet! PD the Pug and the Final Frontier’, our favourite misguided but well-meaning black pug has been recruited as the first American dog in space. His mission? Conduct experiments that will benefit all of humankind. What could possibly go wrong? Pug-Mom Marilee Joyce joins me for her THIRD visit to THE PUG LIFE SHOW to talk space suits, questionable astronaut food, five giant bins of kibble, and the crew of the Wolf Wanderer — none of whom were prepared for pug zoomies in a billion dollar spacecraft. We also get a sneaky peek at what book seven might hold… and let's just say PD has been recruited for a very different kind of mission. 🕵️ WANT TO LEARN MORE about the PD the Pug?

    S5 EP04: What If Your Pug Could Pay for Their Own Sitter?

    Now, today I have a truly special guest. Ally is the founder of Paw Share Club — a platform built on something we already know is true in this community: dog lovers take care of each other. Paw Share Club turns that spirit into a real, fair system. You help a dog parent with a walk or a sit, you earn points. When your Pug needs care, you use those points. And if you don't have a dog yet? Your points are waiting for you when it’s time for another fur-baby — or you can redeem them as gift cards. It's pet care reimagined through the power of community.

    Meet Bling and Honey — two fabulous lady pugs whose names are as sparkly as their personalities. One is precious as diamonds, the other pure pot‑of‑gold energy. These pampered puggies live the ultimate pug life: Sundays are reserved for 12 hours of naps, 6 hours of meditation, and being spoiled rotten. Their latest Pugmas surprise? Pandora collars complete with charms — yes, we checked them out for ourselves cause Rosie is now very jealous! Join us as we chat with their mum Nat about Bling and Honey’s pug‑tastic world and what these precious pups get up to each day. WANT TO LEARN MORE?

    S5 EP02: Snorts & Shenanigans: A Day in the Pug Life of Dougie and Floyd

    Today, we are entering the wonderfully chaotic Pug Life of our force-free trainer fur-end Sarah Rutten and her dynamic puggie-duo: Dougie and Floyd. Dougie is a sweet king who’s been navigating IVDD like an absolute champ… and Floyd is his unhinged pug missile who cannot resist chomping on Dougie’s tail like it’s a limited‑edition snackie. Sarah spills all the stories — from how she came to being a Pug mum, which was not your typical journey, to her future Pug-family addition which we’re looking forward to meeting mid-year.

    S5 EP01: Good Pug‑mentation; Better Health Through Better Supplements

    For our first episode of SEASON 5, we’re diving into the world of supplements designed specifically to support Dogs — from calming blends that help ease their anxiety, to gut‑friendly probiotics that keep their sensitive tummies on track, not to mention mobility‑boosting nutrients that help them stay agile despite their unique build or age. Canine supplementation is gaining in popularity, but not all supplements are created equal. So we’ve invited our fur-ends from Happy Poochie Dog Supplements to talk all thing pug-mentation so you know what to look for to help your Puggie feel balanced, bouncy, and at their best.
