20 min - Eps 163. Barking In The Car
Debbie explores why some dogs bark at everything from the car when they are perfectly calm on walks, and how barrier frustration and being unable to move, sniff or read body language play a part. She explains why barking at passers by is rarely about protecting you, and why the confidence work you do outside transfers into the car and the window at home.

17 min - Eps 162. When You've Done All The Training

25 min - Eps 161. How Treats Can Be Aversive
Debbie talks about something every dog owner reaches for without a second thought, the humble treat, and how, delivered in the wrong way, it can stop working as a reward. She explains how asking a nervous dog to overcome its fear to reach food can tip it into internal conflict, so the treat becomes a warning rather than a welcome.

10 min - Eps 160. How Training Should Make You Feel
Debbie explores how training should actually feel, arguing that enjoyment and connection matter just as much as results. She talks through the common reasons training starts to feel like a chore, from difficulty and lack of purpose to the pressure of expecting instant results, and explains why small wins deserve celebrating along the way.

20 min - Eps 159. Asking For Help
Debbie explores why asking for help is one of the fastest ways to accelerate progress with a reactive, anxious or struggling dog, and why so many dog owners resist reaching out until they're at breaking point.

14 min - Eps 158. Residential Training
Debbie is joined by Tash to unpack residential training, day training and walk-and-trains, weighing up honestly when sending your dog away to be trained genuinely helps and when it falls short. They explore why a skill learned with a trainer does not always transfer back to you at home, why the handover and your own expectations matter so much, and how the relationship between you and your dog sits at the heart of it all.

28 min - Eps 157. Focus On The Positives
Debbie explores why so many dog owners can rattle off everything their dog struggles with, yet go blank when asked what their dog does well. She unpacks negativity bias, the natural human tendency to fixate on problems rather than celebrate progress, and explains how it quietly erodes confidence on the training journey.

12 min - Eps 156. Why Is Reactivity More Common Now
Debbie is joined by Tash to explore why reactivity has become such a common word when it barely existed a generation ago.
