#190 - When to Be Concerned About Certainty
“Guaranteed results”, “done in 30 days”, promises to “fix” your dog. Sounding sure is persuasive, and boy, oh, boy. Some people have gotten very good at it. In this episode, Emily and Ellen talk guarantees in behavior work, promises of outcomes, and the type of certainty that is a big ol’ red flag, not a signal of competence. But don’t worry! It’s not all doom and gloom. Emily and Ellen also share what a good pro says instead, like “I don’t know yet; here’s how we’ll find out,” so...

#189 - Why Behaviors Cluster Together
In this episode, Emily and Veronica talk about why multiple dog behavior problems often cluster together (stranger danger & vet challenges, sound sensitivity & separation anxiety, resource guard & handling issues…) and how Pet Harmony focuses not on playing whack-a-mole with the symptoms, but on getting to the root cause or the unmet need, that will improve things across the board. You wanted to work on your dog’s reactivity, and now you’re doing scent work and watching body...

#188 - Behavior Advice You Couldn't Bring Yourself to Follow
After years of having clients come to us, scared and worried we’re going to parrot advice that leaves their stomach in knots, we’re finally laying it all out there. And yes, it gets a little spicy. In this episode, Emily and Tiffany talk about bad dog training advice our clients have gotten that is just… not it. Whether it’s advice that hurts the relationship (like nothing in life is free, or alpha rolling), pushes you in the opposite direction of your goal (don’t greet your dog, take food fr...

#187 - Dogtor Andy: Compassionate Veterinary Care
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Andrzej (Andy) Ogrodny, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), also known online as Dogtor Andy. Dr. Andy is a board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist, with a knack for making complex medical topics approachable, digestible (pun intended), and accessible. Dr. Andy and Emily dig into how "normal" lab work can still mean something's wrong for that particular animal, why trends matter more than snapshots, and why owner observations (even the ones ...

#186 - Your "Good Enough" Enrichment Plan
If you’ve ever lay away at night running through the list of everything you didn’t do for your pet today… welcome to the club. In this episode, Emily and Tiffany discuss why “enough” feels impossible, what “basic” care actually means, and how to build a plan that works on any day, even your hardest. If you’re ready to build a sustainable life with your pet, and even teach your pet to meet their own needs, rather than needing to do it for them, give this one a listen. TLDL (too lo...

#185 - Troubleshooting: Perfectionism's Worst Nightmare
Last episode, Emily and Ellen talked about how perfectionism can keep you stuck waiting for the “right” time, circling the perfect plan. And when Plan A is the only plan you have, then every stumble feels like a catastrophe. In this episode, Allie and Emily talk about why troubleshooting is perfectionism’s worst nightmare. They explore why adjusting your plan isn’t failure, why finding what’s not working is exciting, and how embracing troubleshooting makes a big difference for pets and their ...

#184 - Perfectionism is Your Enemy
Perfectionism is a fickle little creature. It doesn’t always show up as striving for exact perfection. Sometimes, it’s the little bouts of waiting for the next “right” thing. Waiting for winter when the streets are calm to work on leash skills. Waiting until spring, when the weather is nicer because it’s too cold. Waiting to find the “right” treat for the training session. The next “right” thing is usually just a short wait away, so why not wait for that “best” time? I...

#183 - Beccy Hughes: There's No Wrong Way in Animal Care
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Pet Harmony’s newest consulting team member Beccy Hughes! With decades of animal care and training experience, Emily and Beccy talk about the wonderful, windy story behind Beccy’s skills. From college, to a career in marine mammal training, to finding herself struggling with pet conflict in her own home, to realizing she can help pet parents too, Beccy’s journey here highlights there’s no wrong way in animal care. Join Emily and Beccy for a discussion o...
