Today I am talking about how allowing your dog control the walk can back fire your training.

I'm just saying, if you allow your dog to make all the decisions every moment on the walk, I have seen it backfire over and over again :)! Hope this helps!

Susan Thixton is one of the most respected voices in the pet food world and a leading advocate for transparency in the pet food industry. She is the founder of TruthaboutPetFood.com, where she investigates pet food labeling, ingredient sourcing, recalls, and regulatory loopholes—helping dog owners make more informed decisions about what they’re feeding their pets.

Susan works closely with veterinarians, inspectors, and industry insiders to expose misleading marketing and push for higher safety standards. Her work has made her a trusted resource for pet parents who want real answers—not hype—about commercial dog food, raw diets, and everything in between.

In this episode, we dive into what’s really happening behind the scenes of the pet food industry, how to read labels the right way, and what dog owners should actually be paying attention to when choosing food for their dogs.

I talk about my Dog Burleigh and his entering his mature stage in life, and how you can prepare for your dog's change.

Dr. Ian Billinghurst is an Australian veterinarian, surgeon, author, and internationally recognized authority on canine and feline nutrition. He earned his veterinary degree from Murdoch University and practiced for decades as a clinical veterinarian and surgeon, treating companion animals hands-on while simultaneously questioning the nutritional models being pushed by large pet food corporations.

Dr. Billinghurst is best known as one of the original pioneers of biologically appropriate raw feeding (BARF) and is the author of multiple influential books that challenged conventional pet nutrition long before “fresh” and “raw” became mainstream. His work bridges clinical practice, nutritional science, and industry analysis, offering a rare perspective that combines real-world surgical experience with deep academic and historical understanding of how the pet food industry evolved.

In this episode, we go far beyond surface-level nutrition advice and dig into how pet food standards were created, why ultra-processed diets became normalized, and what dog owners should actually understand when advocating for their dog’s long-term health.

I speak about an idea I had recently, I noticed some dogs react for certain reasons, and I separated the different types of "reactions" stemming from just plain, Reactive, Protective, or Aggression. Hope it's helpful!
