Consider the Dog Podcast
Just like our relationships with other humans in our lives, our relationships with our dogs are dynamic and complex. We believe that for those relationships to flourish or to find resolution when those relationships become strained, we must attend to them thoughtfully and with care. Welcome to the Consider the Dog podcast, created from archived recordings of live sessions where our members get to ask their most burning questions to some of the greatest practitioners of Canine Behavior. Hosted by Tyler Muto.
