A deep dive into the world of service dogs! Laney sits down with Tristan, who has Yagi, a black German Shepherd who works primarily as a mobility / medical alert / some psychiatric service dog. Tristan has so much great information about the world of service dogs, whether owner trained or from an organization. He shares it all, and tons of personal stories too about what it’s like to be a service dog user.

Laney sits down with Holly of @midwestcanines to talk about her three rescue dogs and their lives together. Holly has two Dobermans and one Border Collie, and spends time talking about her work with each dog. She pays particular attention to the topics of training tools like e-collars, off leash reliability, and public access with your dog. Holly is a bright and kind person with lots of advice to dog owners, especially those looking toward the rescue world.

Laney speaks with Elena about her history with horses, her fateful trip to save a starving, filthy German Shepherd, and the journey they began together. Marv weighed just 45 lbs when she pulled him from the shelter, with ear infections and no knowledge of stairs to boot. As Marv became more comfortable, Elena had to rise to the challenge of his reactivity and separation anxiety. This is a touching story of a girl who took a chance on a dog and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Laney talks with Cassie of @astroandangus about her two gorgeous boys. Cassie has worked for years to overcome littermate syndrome in her dogs, with separation anxiety especially. The girls also talk about the use of CBD oil, switching to raw feeding, balanced training & the use of e collars... and so much more. They also alienate dog breed communities (ha-ha). This is a great episode full of laughs and being honest about raising two puppies at once.

Laney walks with Lydia through her early childhood, childhood dog, to the dogs she has today and the person she has become. Lydia shares intimate thoughts, beautiful words and no small part of herself.

In this wild ride of an episode, Laney gets to chat with Marina, the badass girl boss behind @the_good_boyss. She owns two adorable German Shorthaired Pointers and she has so much to say- it’s truly a delight to hear her speak. Tune in for the crazy story of how she ended up with two bird dogs while in undergrad, and how she feels about dog parks & the Instagram dog community!

Laney sits down with one of her best friends from college, the lovely and so smart Megan. Megan shares how she met Laney, their adventures in Peru together, and what she’s been up to post grad. The girls talk about what it means to be a friend, past hurts, and favorite college stories.

Laney has an amazing conversation with Sara of @gsdlincoln about little Lincoln’s health struggles during the first year of his life. Sara broke his journey down for listeners, including discussing vaccinations, supplements and pet nutrition. Laney and Sara have been friends via dog Instagram for awhile now and they have a lot to talk about together!

Join Laney as she speaks with Joanna of @kane_rescuemutt about Kane’s journey through reactivity. Joanna tells listeners all about the long path they walked together, building a true relationship and learning what it means to love and train the dog in front of you. This is a beautiful conversation about one special dog who changed his owner’s life.

Join Laney as she sits down with one of her good friends from undergrad at the University of Virginia, CC. CC spends the first half of the podcast talking about her ESA Winston, and what a journey they have had together. CC talks a little about breed bans and pit bulls, as well as her experiences living with Winston. The conversation turns to impactful classes in undergrad, proudest moments and fun anecdotes to leave you with a taste of something sweet. Enjoy!
