Whether they're tracking by sight or by scent, one thing unites every hound: the ability to cover serious ground and make serious decisions — entirely on their own. This episode dives into the AKC Hound Group, exploring the split between sight hounds and scent hounds, what makes them gloriously (and occasionally maddeningly) independent, and how to channel that superpower without losing your mind — or your dog.

This is Dog Days, where we dive into what’s really going on beneath your dog’s behavior—and how understanding their needs can unlock real, lasting change. You’ll hear honest stories of transformation, unexpected breakthroughs, and the kind of training wisdom that will help you feel more confident, connected, and calm with your dog.

You won't find one-size-fits-all training tips here. Instead, you'll hear from compassionate, often humorous experts who help you build an enduring trust with your dog by shifting how you show up to the party.
