Agree to the Terms (Or Get Out of My Kennel)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 • Duration 39:14

This one’s for the crusty white dogs, the bird nerds, and anyone who's ever been told to “fake it till you make it.” In this episode, Mel and Corey dive into their early days of dog training chaos — from rogue German Shepherds and crusty little biters to leadership clashes and business-growing pains. They reflect on what it takes to lead people and dogs, share hard-won lessons from the field, and yes, get very sidetracked by bird drama. It's part comedy, part therapy, and all real talk from the frontlines of dog life and small biz ownership.

The Off Leash Myth: What It Really Takes to Trust Your Dog

Episode 5

Friday, April 25, 2025 • Duration 39:36

Is your dream dog the kind that trots beside you leash-free, ready to recall at a whistle? In this episode, Melaney and Cory break down the fantasy and reality of off-leash dog training. From personal stories of their own pack to real-world client struggles, they tackle what it actually takes to build a reliable off-leash recall. Discover why long leash training, relationship-based obedience, and consistent practice are non-negotiable for success. Whether you're working with a beagle with a nose for mischief or a Labrador who loves the pond, this conversation dives deep into dog behavior, recall reliability, and breed-specific quirks. Perfect for dog parents, trainers, or anyone dreaming of ditching the leash but keeping the control. Plus, laughs, love, and a little chaos from their blended family of dogs and humans.
