Our society has a mythologically-based approach to bringing companion pets into our homes, which can lead to all sorts of conflicts, and sadly, failed adoptions. This podcast is for dog rescues, fosters, adopters, and dog lovers desiring to smooth out the bumps of adoption and rescue. Hosts Emily and Libby provide evidence-based information on how to assimilate dogs into our human lifestyles in a way that is a positive experience for all species involved. Emily is a certified professional dog trainer; and between them Libby and Emily have over 2 decades rescuing dogs (and a few cats!).

Nurturing Confidence in Fearful Shelter Dogs with Tom Candy
It is no secret that shelters can prove to be extremely stressful environments for dogs - even the friendlist, most easy-going dog can experience severe stress or fear in a shelter environment. In this incredible conversation, Emily, Libby and Tom Candy discuss how we can best support shelter dogs in and out of the shelter environment to build confidence, trust, and a sense of play. In this episode, they cover:
How to work with dogs who display fearful behaviors in the shelter and kennel environments
How to distinguish a dog’s shelter-based fear from their general fear
The positive benefits of play for shelter dogs
The constant game/challenge of cost-benefit analysis for shelter dogs
COVID-related undersocialized dogs
The genetic vs. evolutionary origins of shelter dogs’ fear
How to prepare anxious or fearful dogs for adoption - and, how to prepare their families
This is an excellent conversation for anyone who interacts with shelter dogs in any way; employees, fosters, potential adopters, and more.

Catch the Good in Your Dog: SMARTx50 with Kathy Sdao
If you try one training method with your new rescue dog, try this one! This week, Emily and Libby speak with Kathy Sdao, world-renowned dog trainer, speaker, writer, and educator. Sdao’s accessible training technique, SMARTx50, is a powerful tool that distills behavior science into the lay person's terms, making it accessible for our human learners: dog rescuers, fosters and adopters. They discuss how to use SMARTx50 to help our dogs fit into our human world, and this conversation is lively and full of both science and heart; evidence and experience. Some topics discussed are:
How to take training out of the science theory realm into the practical, accessible world of humans training their dog
Helping resolve dogs anxiety by using reinforcers
How her work with marine mammals influences her training approach
Human praise as payment - does it work or not?
How the Smartx50 technique can be adapted to a shelter environment
Kathy has been passionate about animal training ever since she quit a good job to move halfway around the world to train dolphins at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory at the University of Hawaii.
Now, 35 years later, she offers her expertise as an applied animal behaviorist to dog owners in Washington State and across the world, to seminar and webinar audiences and to professional training organizations. Kathy has taught 300 seminars, workshops, conferences and webinars; many of these presentations have been professionally recorded and are available for purchase. Kathy’s training philosophy and advice is summarized in her book, Plenty in Life is Free: Reflections on Dogs, Training and Finding Grace.

Customer Reviews
The Best Dog Podcast By Far
I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts on dogs and this one is by far the best I’ve ever come across in my many years. I myself am a world renowned dog trainer and I find even I haven’t come across many of the information discussed and dissected in this very well articulated podcast. Definitely give it a listen if you haven’t already.
Informative podcast
I’m glad I found this podcast! As a dog lover and someone considering starting a rescue, I find the tips and resources very helpful and informative. Very highly qualified hosts and guests. Thank you!
The Best
I am so thankful for this podcast.
We brought home an sweet adolescent pittie mix from a shelter who he has turned out to be a little more socially awkward than we anticipated. It was been a tough adjustment, but we are working hard with an awesome trainer to help him improve his leash reactivity and some other over arousal tendencies.
This podcast has been an amazing source for reinforcing our training. It’s not just about the behavior, the context of why we see certain behaviors has been a game changer for me. And to be honest, sometimes I just listen to feel less alone and encouraged. The simple reminder that it is okay to take things slower than planned has made a huge difference for us.
I have scoured the internet and podcasts for different resources and this is the best for anyone bringing home a shelter dog. I’ve been happy to visit the website and links guests have provided too. I have recommended Pod to the Rescue to everyone I know.
Thank you so very much. Words cannot convey how much this resource has helped my family.
