| 6/16/25 | Mindset Episode 028 | I Would Never Let My Dog Behave That Way; Verbal Condemnation | Send a text A chat at the airfield turns into a round of “I would never…” and sparks this episode on what I call verbal condemnation. From “I’d never rehome my dog” to “My dog would never bite”, these statements often hide fear, not fact. I explore the defense mechanisms behind them, projection, denial, moral high ground, and why they sting so much when directed at us. Awareness isn’t about brushing things off. It’s the first step toward understanding what we’re really afraid of, ... | 25m 18s | ||||||
| 5/26/25 | Mindset Episode 027 | Getting the Most Out of Your Time | Send a text We say things like “I just want to get the most out of life” all the time, especially when it comes to our dogs, who already feel like they’re on borrowed time. But when you stop to really think about it…what does that even mean? In this episode, I follow that thought down a bit of a rabbit hole. What does it actually mean to maximize life? For ourselves, for our dogs? Is it about time? Love? Impact? And who gets to decide whether we’ve done “enough”? As always, I don’t land on a ... | 25m 57s | ||||||
| 4/2/25 | 039 | Gunilla Pedersen on Burnout, Boundaries, and Not Being God | Send a text When your work is about helping others, whether it’s animals, people, or both, it can be hard to draw the line between care and self-sacrifice. In this episode, I talk to Gunila Pedersen, a veterinarian who dealt with burnout, left the field, and then returned on her own terms after becoming a coach. We talk about the pressure to be perfect, the weight of euthanasia decisions, what happens when clients can’t afford treatment, and how to live with imperfection in a syst... | 1h 35m 10s | ||||||
| 12/17/24 | Mindset Episode 026 | Not wanting your dog to suffer because of your choices | Send a text It's not my dog's fault I'm sick... It's not my dog's fault work's busy... So, that means I have to put them first. Not make them suffer for my choices. What's suffering though? Are they suffering? Are you? When do you get to put yourself first? That's what this episode is about. I give you some pointers as to how you can question your brain as well as some practical tips.

| 12/9/24 | 038 | Barbara van Rheenen over wanneer je hond aan de beurt is en wanneer jijzelf | Send a text Barbara van Rheenen is illustratrice en woont samen met haar twee witte herders Guzzi en Lupo. Recent schreef en illustreerde ze een boekje over wat daar bij komt kijken. Een boekje met tips over opvoeding, maar ook veel herkenbare anekdotes uit haar eigen leven, en natuurlijk met schitterende illustraties. Het schrijven van "Wittebroodsweken- Houden van je herder" leverder Barbara een hoop nieuwe inzichten op. En daar gaat het in deze aflevering over: - Hoe je je nog s... | 1h 12m 28s | ||||||
| 9/21/24 | Mindset Episode 025 | Listening to Your No to Find Your Yes: How to Heed Your Gut to Find That No | Send a text In this episode of Ruff Around the Edges, I explore the power of starting with a "no" to gain clarity on what we truly want. By identifying what we're not willing or able to do, we make it easier to figure out where we want to go — whether it’s choosing how to manage our dog’s behavior or making parenting decisions. I also dive into the importance of listening to your body’s signals to understand when something is a genuine no, and when it’s simply fear trying to hold you ba... | 24m 06s | ||||||
| 9/4/24 | 037 | Claire Martin & Ozzy of Motherpuppers on Shutting Up and Showing Up | Send a text Claire describes such familiar themes. Like what it’s like to look back at how her childhood dogs were treated with the knowledge she has now. How she thought she knew quite a bit about dogs until Ozzy came along. Ozzy was adopted from a charity, who had done a pretty great job preparing prospective adopters for what it’s like to bring a new dog into the home, and yet Claire, like many of us, still underestimated the reality, partly because she adopted Ozzy when he was still a p... | 1h 24m 39s | ||||||
| 7/10/24 | Mindset Episode 024 | What do you do when you have no time to grieve? | Send a text Warning: this episode references euthanasia What do you do when you have been dealt an emotional blow, and need time to process that, but time is the one thing you don't have? Because you have to get back to work so you can make rent for example? Or because you're parenting small children and you're happy to get 5 minutes of quiet time on the toilet? This episode tries to give some practical tips as to what you can do in situations like that using the low-key of example of getti... | 21m 35s | ||||||
| 5/28/24 | 036 | Leah Lykos of Canine Movement Lab on Somatic Work and Your Dog as Your Mirror | Send a text Leah Lykos, a dog behaviorist out of Chattanooga Tennessee and guardian to three dogs, Eva, Biggie, and Mia explains how her focus is on movement and somatic work. That makes sense given that she operates from the philosophy that for dogs even more so than for humans there is no separation of mind and body. We discuss something new to me: resistance feeding. The idea behind resistance feeding is to not control the dog's behavior but to provide an appropriate outlet for it. Everyth... | 1h 11m 51s | ||||||
| 4/18/24 | 035 | Matilda Kelsall & Rafiki and Nala on dog-sparked personal growth in leaps and bounds | Send a text [The audio of this episode is a bit wonky, but I hope you'll put up with it because the content is great] Matilda is a canine coach who creates all the things she wishes she would have had available when working with her dog Nala for her clients. We talk about how Rafiki, her second dog, helped her grow into the person she is now. (and what on earth possessed her to get a second dog after having a first dog who was Ruff Around the Edges) When you listen to the episode you'll b... | 1h 38m 33s | ||||||

Can you even start? I share the experiences a friend of mine and myself have had doing physical therapy, the lessons I learned from it and how they apply to life with our dogs. How do you find which dials to tweak?

| 3/2/24 | 034 | Aimee of Pawfect Behavior on everything mindset and dogs and leaving the UK to be a Dubai dog trainer | Send a text How does a UK national end up a dog (and other animals) trainer in Dubai? Just listening to Aimee's backstory will have you in awe of the way she has stayed true to herself making big life decisions. We talk about how she tries to make clients feel like they can share everything with her as a trainer so that they don't have to hide their feelings and frustration. We discuss how breed stereotypes and other assumptions may prevent us from recognizing our dogs are in pain. Ar... | 1h 15m 29s | ||||||
| 1/11/24 | 033 | Agnieszka Janarek of Tromplo on errorless learning, (lack of) perfectionism and resilience in both humans and dogs | Send a text This episode is for you if you identify as a perfectionist. Simply talking with Aga, the short version for Agnieszka about the concept of errorless learning has given me another way to look at perfectionism and how it can (often but not always) be unhelpful. Aga talks about training behaviors to fluency which is different from perfection, and about the benefits of playing by someone else's rules now and then, just to get you out of your comfort zone. She will have you completely r... | 1h 05m 38s | ||||||
| 12/7/23 | 032 | Ninke Lemmens & Luka en Ellie over buitenlandse adoptie honden, de zoektocht naar hulp, en de rol van pijn | Send a text Als Ninke Luka adopteert heeft hij al twee jaar lang in een Russisch asiel gezeten. Eenmaal thuis in Belgisch Limburg durft hij niet eens binnen te komen, zo ontzettend moet hij wennen aan zijn nieuwe leven. Goedbedoelde adviezen als "da's een een scheper, die moet u wel bezig houden" blijken voor Luka helemaal niet te werken. Ninke vertelt over de omzwervingen die haar uiteindelijk naar Daniëlla van Paws in Touch leiden en wat haar overtuigde om toch nog weer meer geld in traini... | 1h 15m 04s | ||||||

| 8/31/23 | Mindset Episode 22 | Thinking about changing is changing, so is relapsing, so is not thinking about changing. | Send a text Beating yourself up about being stuck in the "I kind of want to change, but I can't get myself to change, so I must not want the change bad enough" is one of the most counterproductive ways to talk to yourself. Change isn't all about action. It starts with you (and your dog) just living your life (or lives), followed by as much time as necessary to consider if there is something you want to change and how. Change is also about falling back into old patterns and trying again. When... | 25m 44s | ||||||
| 8/24/23 | 031 | Georgie of Trickwoofs on compassion fatigue in the dog training world, the parallels with raising a human child, learning to love frustration and more | Send a text If you follow any kind of dog related social media, then you will know Georgie, where she posts under the handle @trickwoofs. You will have seen the lovely whimsical cartoons she draws about life with a reactive dog, which are so extremely on point they always make me laugh. A particular cartoon comes to mind that has the guardian and their dog navigating the urban jungle that is the city, James Bond style, ducking behind walls and sneaking around corners, all in an attempt to avo... | 1h 18m 01s | ||||||
| 5/4/23 | Mindset Episode 021 | Considering where the other person's coming from, when you feel triggered | Send a text Does your partner brush off your dog's reaction like it was nothing? Don't they understand the concept op threshold and the importance of limiting reactions? It's enough to make you fume! What could be going on on their end though? Is your partner shouting at the dog? Do you so want to get in their face and tell them that's not acceptable? What could they be going through? Are people telling you to stay calm, because it's your anxiety that is making the vet visits problematic fo... | 21m 56s | ||||||

[Waarschuwing: Rond de 20 minuten horen we Thiseas even blaffen] Maak kennis met Isabelle, het baasje van Thiseas, een adoptiehond uit Griekenland Na een stressvolle start in het leven (Thiseas wordt met 6 weken met een gebroken pootje langs de weg gevonden en nadien ook nog met het vliegtuig naar zij nieuwe thuis vervoerd) is al snel duidelijk dat This... | 1h 09m 36s | ||||||
| 4/11/23 | Mindset Episode 020 | How to believe in overall success so you can work through setbacks | Send a text If only you knew you would get there in the end, then the setbacks wouldn't be so hard to bear. If you just had someone who could guarantee you that, yes, your dog's going to go after a couple more cyclists and there will be 4 more periods of regression, but for sure 100% guaranteed they're going to get there, then that would probably make it easier to deal with the hard times, wouldn't it? Knowing that spring is coming makes it easier to get through the winter (well, the winter... | 18m 42s | ||||||
| 3/8/23 | 029 | Ali & Indie of Rebarkable, on becoming and being a dog trainer and not burning out | Send a text Ali was from London but now lives in Maryland We talk about how she got into the business of dog training, which has a little something to do with her German Shepherd cross Indie. We talk about the widespread misunderstanding that all dogs should love all dogs and I may or may not tell an anecdote of me hugging a stranger to try and show them that they wouldn’t appreciate being crowded either. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Ali also explains something that I think is amazin... | 1h 27m 24s | ||||||
| 2/17/23 | Mindset Episode 019 | The best way to relax is not what you think | Send a text Do you ever have a hard time relaxing after something stressful happens? You want to be in control of your emotions so your bad mood doesn't rub off on your dog or others around you. If you're angry at something, you want to calm down so you don't accidentally start a fight by lashing out at another person or so that you don't end up being unnecessarily harsh with your dog. My guess is that one of your strategies is to focus on regaining calmness as quickly as possible, by doin... | 21m 28s | ||||||
| 2/10/23 | 028 | Jumy on no longer wanting to be the only R+ horse trainer in the U.A.E. | Send a text Jumy is a positive reinforcement horse trainer from the U.A.E. who opened her own livery yard, malath paddock paradise, 3 years ago, but she’s been in the industry for 13 years already. I ask lots of no doubt cringe worthy questions, as I know nothing about horses, and we touch upon a ton of things. Of course I want to know how Jumy ended up in the force free training world. Unlike many dog guardians it wasn’t because she had exhausted punitive methods or because her h... | 1h 22m 46s | ||||||
| 1/31/23 | Mindset Episode 018 | When something or someone always suffers because you're juggling too many things | Send a text This podcast episode is a reply to an email I received from someone on my email-list. They wrote: I was constantly trying to manage between work, my dogs, my almost adult kids, my house, a big yard with a lot of plants, my husband, my extended family, and some time for myself! Sound familiar? You're juggling all the things, but no matter the effort, it seems like something or someone is always suffering, because you never manage to get it quite right. Guilt is inevitable.... | 23m 22s | ||||||

Here are just some of the things Haley of @paws.andreflect talk about: Why we choose to train the behaviors we trainChoice points: recognizing what you’re feeling and choosing to do something about it in a healthy and productive way rather than letting your feelings ruin your day.(What Haley describes are actually techn... | 1h 52m 07s | ||||||
