Vic & Jo's Dog Pod – Details, episodes & analysis

This podcast is for people who want real answers, not soundbites, and dogs who deserve better than being misunderstood.

Vicky and Jo are two seasoned behaviourists chatting about all things dog, from unborn puppies to golden oldies and everything in between.
The twist: Jo dives deep into what’s happening inside the dog, using very fancy words.
Vicky, who understands exactly none of this, bravely steps in to stop the madness and forces Jo to translate it all into plain English, for the rest of us to understand.
The result: complex dog behaviour, stripped back into simple, human language - with laughs guaranteed.

About us!

“I’m Jo Croft — Canine Behaviour Specialist, Veterinary Nurse, educator, author… and the person vets call when the behaviour problem isn’t just ‘bad behaviour’.

I’ve been working with dogs for over three decades, running a behaviour consultancy since 2005, and helping families navigate anxiety, aggression, fear and emotional overload, usually after Google and well-meaning advice have made things worse.

I believe behaviour isn’t about dominance or treats, it’s about nervous systems, learning history, biology, and humans who are trying their best.”

“And I’m Vicky Lawes - Canine Behaviour Specialist, Tutor, Director, and the last phone call people make when they’ve tried everything and are officially out of ideas.

I’ve been working with dogs, for a very long time across training, behaviour, rescue, kennels, safety, classes and sports, along the way learning from some truly world-class dog professionals, and a few dogs who absolutely did not read the rule book.

Not all dogs are easy, and not all dogs are for everyone, but with the right guidance (and realistic expectations), living in harmony with your dog really is possible.”
