The Dog Who Asked for More: Training, Enrichment & Nutrition Secrets for a Calmer Life with Dogs

How a Senior Dog Inspired a Smart Training Tool That’s Saving Lives


Listen Later

What if your dog had a way to tell you exactly what they needed—whether it was a bathroom break, comfort, or even help in an emergency?


In this episode of The Dog Who Asked for More, I sit down with Mark Condon, creator of iPuppy, the smart communication button inspired by his senior dog, Champ. What started as a personal solution for one aging Lab has grown into a global tool for dog training, enrichment, and even life-saving service dog communication. Whether you’re dealing with puppy potty training, supporting a reactive adult dog, or caring for a dog with medical needs, this episode is packed with insights into how technology can bridge the communication gap—without replacing the human connection or hands-on training.


In this episode:

  • ​Hear how smart tools like iPuppy are enriching the lives of dogs and giving them a voice—literally.
  • ​Learn why your dog’s “behavior issue” might just be a missed communication cue.
  • ​Discover how small bits of tech can support, not replace, your existing training routines and deepen the bond between you and your dog.

Press play to hear how one dog’s quiet ask led to a global shift in how we train, enrich, and truly listen to our dogs.
