(16) Redditors Work From Home With Dogs

Struggling to balance your work-from-home routine with your dog’s needs? In this episode, Kirsten Matthews (The Canine Detective) explores common challenges faced by remote dog owners, sharing Reddit stories and expert advice to help you create a workable daily routine for you and your furry coworker. Takeaways * Building effective morning routines is crucial for remote workers with dogs. * It is necessary to create strategies to keep dogs occupied and calm during work calls in order to be successful when working from home. * Some dog owners working from home address separation anxiety with a combination of training and medication. * Some Redditors have great suggestions of tools for noise reduction and soundproofing in home offices. * The first step whenever your dog is demonstrating unwanted behaviour generally should be to ask yourself whether or not you are adequately meeting your dog's needs on a regular basis. Adjust exercise and enrichment routines to reduce barking and stress. I would really appreciate it if you would take 5 minutes to fill out The 2026 International Remote Workers with Dogs Survey! Your responses will contribute to a wider report on what remote dog owners are actually dealing with right now.

episode (13) Senior Dogs, Floor Licking, and Dog Breed Preferences cover

(13) Senior Dogs, Floor Licking, and Dog Breed Preferences

In this episode of Dear Dog Fanatic, Kirsten "K" Matthews (The Canine Detective) reads and responds to listener write-ins. She gives tips and tricks on how to care for a senior dog with medical challenges. She also explains some of the reasons why a dog may be excessively licking various surfaces. And finally, gives her take on why people choose the dog breeds that they do. Content Warnings: Senior Dog Medical Challenges. Takeaways * With senior dogs, notice if your dog loses interest in activities; it might mean they need extra care. * Excessive licking can be due to medical issues, the dog's diet, or boredom/anxiety/stress. * Choose a dog breed that fits your lifestyle to avoid long-term frustration (on both ends). Listener Questions 1. "Have you covered the topic of caring for a senior/elderly dog? I'm just trying to ensure a good quality of life for my elderly greyhound who is 11 years old." 2. "My dog licks the floor like it's her JOB. Not one spot where something interesting was spilled, the whole thing like she's mopping the house. Anxiety? Something else?" 3. "What does someone’s breed preferences say about their personality or, the inverse - what sort of people tend to be best suited for different breed groups, and what they should stay away from?"

(12) Puppies & Poop-Eating

In this episode of Dear Dog Fanatic, K (The Canine Detective) answers some listener write-ins. She gives expert advice on how to prevent your dog from eating poop, how to introduce an adult dog to a new puppy roommate, and how we often make mistakes when choosing a puppy. Content Warnings: Discussing Poop. Takeaways * Breaking habits requires addressing root causes, not just symptoms (and this applies to dogs too). * Before we can change a dog's behaviour, we need to stop them from continuing to practice the habit. * Introducing a puppy into a household with an adult dog requires both careful planning and ongoing management. * The misconception that puppies "choose" their owners ignores the influence of genetics and early socialization. Listener Questions * “Is there any holistic approach to dealing with coprophagia? Bull terrier eats poop emoji.” * “What should I do to properly introduce my dog to a puppy? We lost our second dog last May and our girl is depressed so we’re becoming that stat - we are getting a dog for our dog, but I’m not confident in how I should introduce my 6 year old dog to her new puppy sister” Submit Your Dog Question Here: https://linktr.ee/thecaninedetective [https://linktr.ee/thecaninedetective?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=440005be-e92d-4f94-bd33-b7a593a108dd]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
