Raw Dog Training is a podcast about how to feed your dog, train your dog, and manage your dog in a way that restores their primal health, purpose, and balance. We simplify raw feeding for everyday pet owners—DIY, budget-friendly, and realistic—without turning it into a lifestyle competition or overcomplicating what should be common sense. This isn’t just about what goes in the bowl, but why it matters. The show also covers real-world obedience, behavior, health, fitness, and canine lifestyle. We talk about structure, leadership, and clarity—how dogs actually live day to day—and how better food and better training lead to a better relationship between you and your dog. This podcast isn’t just for police or working dogs. It’s for family dogs, adult dogs, puppies, and anyone who wants stronger, healthier, more capable dogs and a more meaningful connection with the dog they already have.

    Origin Story | EP 01

    In this episode of the Raw Dog Training podcast, I share my origin story and how the early medical retirement of my first working dog, Cezar, forced me to start asking hard questions about dog health, training, and nutrition. What began as frustration turned into years of research, trial and error, and real-world experience that completely changed how I feed, train, and manage dogs. I talk openly about the health issues I saw not just in Cezar, but across working dogs in general, and how many of those problems aren’t bad genetics or wear and tear, but the result of systemic issues in the veterinary and pet food industries. I explain why I stopped accepting surface-level answers and why nutrition became the foundation for everything else. This episode also gets into the deeper side of dogs, the relationship between humans and dogs, their purpose, and why I believe dogs were meant to work alongside us rather than live sedentary lives fueled by ultra-processed food. This podcast isn’t just about feeding raw or training commands. It’s about stewardship, responsibility, and restoring dogs to their natural health, balance, and purpose.
