In this podcast we hear from behaviourist Bethany Bell on why aversive, harsh methods appear to work, while wreaking havoc on your dog and your relationship with them. Behaviourist Jennifer Billot has the dog life hacks that will save you time, make your training more effective, and make life more fun for your dog. DogCast Radio is the podcast your dog wants you to listen to!

In this podcast, host Julie considers a variety of Reddit AITA questions, and Am I Being Unreasonable from Mumsnet. We have stories of a puppy biting a child at a family get together, the pet sitting friend who took the dog to doggy daycare, the rescue dog defender feeling the pressure to meet up for dog walks, the sister who caused trouble when she said her sister's baby name sounded like a dog's name, the devoted owner who ducked out of his brother's wedding to care for his injured dog, an off lead dog causing issues and two alleged service dogs joining at the children's playground. Do you agree with Julie's take on all these canine conundrums?

In this podcast you can hear author Jennifer S. Holland talk about dog intelligence - what types of intelligence do dogs have, how do we measure canine intelligence, what's the difference between intelligence and instinct, and how can we encourage our dogs to become more intelligent? Behaviourist Lisa Sinnott offers excellent advice on how to introduce cats and dogs in a way that causes as little stress to all concerned. And Julie introduces her latest project - Inane Ramblings of a Puppy Owner (IROAPO).

Just like us, our dogs need to be protected in the event of a collision of evasive manoevre in the car - but did you know that to be truly effective and safe car harnesses should be fully crash tested? We talk to the team inspired by experience to help keep dogs safe as they travel. Author Sue Kittow has experienced how dogs support us through tough times, and has turned her real life canines into characters in her touching novels.
