| 6/12/26 | FDSP E464: Julie Flanery - Are We Ever Really Finished Training A Behavior? | If you're like most dog trainers and handlers out there, you've started training lots of different behaviors that never quite reached a finished and fluent state. In this episode, Julie and I discuss why that happens, the phases behaviors need to go through, and what it takes to get them there. And, of course, she answers the question of whether it's even possible to "finish" training a behavior. | — | ||||||
| 6/5/26 | E463: Bronagh Daly - "Big Feelings in Dog Agility" | Does your dog have big feelings about dog agility?

| 5/22/26 | E461: Sarah Rida - "Teaching A Contact Heel" | Curious why and how to teach a contact heeling behavior? Contact heeling is a transport behavior distinctly different from formal obedience heelwork or loose leash walking – and in some instances, it offers significant advantages over either of those other options. In this episode Sarah Rida joins me to talk about why she teaches contact heeling, when it can be helpful, and how to actually begin training this useful skill. | — | ||||||
| 5/15/26 | E460: Kelly Daniel and Ashley Escobar - "The Mental Benefits of Canine Fitness for Sports Dogs" | Kelly and Ashley join me in this episode to discuss why canine fitness is sometimes overlooked by dog sports teams, how it can help dogs with impulse control, arousal modulation, and emotional fitness, and the difference between quality movement and a dog who is just active in their environment in a less intentional way.
