Episode 1: The Mistakes That Made Me a Dog Trainer

In episode one, Amy and Anya introduce the podcast in a raw, unfiltered way and dive into Amy’s journey into dog training through the stories of her six-dog pack. From early training mistakes with Marley to working through behavioural cases like Charlie, Rolo, and Noodle, this episode explores the reality of owning and rehabilitating “difficult” dogs. Along the way, Amy shares how her experiences shaped her training philosophy - bridging the gap between overly strict obedience and purely positive approaches - and why small dogs deserve to be taken just as seriously as big ones.
