Over Your Dog Isn't Broken

Welcome to Your Dog Isn’t Broken — the podcast where we don’t just train dogs… We train humans to speak dog. Join me every Wednesday for truth bombs, myth-busting, and unfiltered conversations about what your dog actually needs. From misunderstood rescues to service dog real talk, we teach practical, no-fluff skills to help you build a real relationship with your dog, not just obedience on command. Because your dog isn’t stubborn. Your dog isn’t broken. They’re just waiting for someone to listen finally. 🎙️ New episodes every Wednesday. 🐿️ Real talk, real dogs, and occasional squirrels

🎙 Episode 10: Your Dog Didn’t Escape to Spite You — You Just Left the Gate Open (Again)

No, your dog didn’t mastermind an Ocean’s Eleven-style breakout because they hate you. They dipped because you forgot to latch the gate—again. In this episode, we’re tackling lost pet prevention like your sanity depends on it (because it kinda does). Bruce shares his best Houdini impressions, we break down why July 4th is a full-blown anxiety fest for dogs, and you’ll walk away with panic-proofing tips that actually work. Spoiler: it’s not just yelling “STAY!” into the void. Whether you’ve got a runner, a bolter, or a fence-hopper with Olympic dreams, this one’s for you. Let’s keep those paws on your porch and out of the neighbor’s pool. Topics We’re Digging Into: ✅ Why dogs run (and no, it’s not revenge) ✅ July 4th pet chaos 101 ✅ Lost Pet Prevention Month tips ✅ Bruce’s epic escape story (ft. mud, chaos, and regret) ✅ How to prep like the over-caffeinated control freak you should be

Your Dog Doesn’t Want a Party. They Want Peace

It’s Dog Party Day and National Dachshund Day, so naturally someone out there is planning a bouncy house, cake, and 12 dog “friends” their pup barely tolerates. Let me stop you right there. In Episode 9 of Your Dog Isn’t Broken, we’re unpacking the difference between joyful celebration and canine overstimulation — because your dog doesn’t want to be the guest of honor at your Pinterest disaster. They want to sniff something interesting and go home. Just because it’s cute doesn’t mean it’s kind. Let’s throw out the hats and build peace, not pressure. Listen if: * You’ve ever planned a party your dog actively hated * You’re not sure if your dog enjoys group play or just survives it * You’ve felt guilty for not throwing your rescue dog a “gotcha day bash” * You need permission to do less — and do it better In this episode: * Why not all dogs want social gatherings (and that’s okay) * What dog joy actually looks like — hint: it’s not party favors * How to celebrate without creating anxiety * A little shade at the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest (because yeah, we went there) 🎧 Listen now on Spotify [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/squirrel-knows-dogs/episodes/Your-Dog-Doesnt-Want-a-Party--They-Want-Peace-e33pwok] 📚 Bruce’s Book is the only party favor you need 📲 Follow @brucebannersmash for judgmental party commentary and behavioral brilliance

Your Dog Is Not Your Coworker: Take Your Pet to Work Day & Other Bad Ideas

Ah yes, Take Your Pet to Work Week — that magical time when humans drag their dogs into fluorescent-lit offices filled with loud voices, weird smells, and absolutely zero escape routes. In this episode of Your Dog Isn’t Broken, we’re unpacking the chaos that happens when people mistake novelty for socialization and call it enrichment. Spoiler: your dog doesn’t want to sit through your Zoom call, Karen. They want to nap in a quiet room where the floor isn’t slippery and Brenda from accounting isn’t squealing “who’s a good boy” every 6 minutes. We also nod to Garfield the Cat Day, because honestly? Garfield had it right: stay home, avoid Mondays, and bite when provoked. Listen if: * You’ve brought your dog somewhere they weren’t ready for * You think “he’s fine at home, so he’ll be fine at work” * You need permission to just not take your dog everywhere * You want to prepare your dog for public spaces without frying their brain What you’ll learn: * How to prep your dog for chaotic spaces (and when to just say no) * Why “friendly” doesn’t mean “appropriate for every environment” * What office overstimulation looks like (and how to spot it before the meltdown) * Why forced “fun” leads to long-term stress behavior * And how to recognize when your dog wants to stay home like a furry little Garfield 🎧 Listen to the episode [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/squirrel-knows-dogs/episodes/Your-Dog-Is-Not-Your-Coworker-Take-Your-Pet-to-Work-Day--Other-Bad-Ideas-e33ptv5] 📚 Bruce’s Book is still judging you — available now 📲 Follow @brucebannersmash for zero productivity, 100% snark

Confidence Isn’t Built in a Vacuum (and Neither Is Good Behavior)

You want your dog to be confident, social, chill, adaptable — basically a furry therapist who also looks great in group photos? Cool. Then stop throwing them into overwhelming chaos and calling it “socialization.” In this episode of Your Dog Isn’t Broken, we talk about what confidence actually is (spoiler: it’s not tolerance), why overexposure is not training, and how to build up your dog’s bravery without accidentally frying their nervous system. We also shout out Pet Remembrance Day and National Dog Dad Day — because let’s be real, grief and growth usually show up holding paws. Listen if: * You’re trying to “socialize” a shy dog and it’s backfiring * You’ve ever said “he’ll get used to it” and regretted it * You want to stop confusing exposure with progress * You’re grieving one dog while training another Mentioned in this episode: * How we build real confidence in Foster the Chaos * What decompression actually looks like * How grief affects your training more than you think * Bruce’s approach to bravery: lean in, sniff everything, ignore the humans 🎧 Listen on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0OXpWnls8DpeXyfKnTkH7Y?si=h_78FNaWRWyLAgh8SVDdqw] 📚 Grab Bruce’s Book — part gospel, part snark manual 📲 Follow @brucebannersmash for judgmental wisdom and toe beans

He’s Not Being Stubborn, You’re Just Not That Interesting

Think your dog is “just being stubborn”? Nah. You’re probably just boring. In this episode, Shannon breaks down the cold, chewy truth about attention, engagement, and why your dog might be ghosting your recall like it’s a bad Tinder match. From misused cues to underwhelming rewards, we’re tackling the myth that your dog is ignoring you out of spite — and replacing it with real-world tools that actually work. Because stubbornness isn’t a behavior problem. It’s a motivation problem. And if your dog isn’t paying attention? That’s your cue to get more interesting. Whether your dog pretends not to hear you at the park or just stares through your soul when you say “come,” this episode is your sassy, practical wake-up call. Listen if: * You’re tired of yelling “COME!” to no avail * You’ve ever blamed your dog when the real issue was your treat game * You need a kick in the leash about building value in your relationship
